Sorry to the two posters before which I've copied and pasted from (thecode, and movieguy), I wanted to say that I agree with both of your comments, but my stupid finger accidentally hit return, twice. Sorry.

I was watching the news in the lead up to the preliminary heats of…

I was watching the news in the lead up to the preliminary heats of the 4x100 and the runners were making light of the fact that they "only" practiced the hand off of the baton. If you know anything about this race that is the key to event.

If you…

For imgold:

But didn't the American men just win the 4x400 relay ? So how about a yay for that ? A "boo" for team USA ? Hard lines mate, hard lines !

Please read the headline again. It says: "4x100 relay". As far as I remember, the American men…

Congrats to Kobe Bryant and co. for pulling it out in the final minutes. It was a close one and very exciting. I saw it on BS1 too and it was absolutely amazing. Good job to Spain for making it more of a game than when they played each other…

I agree with you movieguy. China did a good job of organizing these games, and controlling the weather for even a brief moment, but it certainly was far from being perfect. Oppression continued and freedom of speech was nonexistent.

No peaceful protests were approved and thus held. You could even…

I agree. I feel London will bring in a more homegrown feeling to the Olympics with less of the fakery and will be more in line with the real spirit of the Olympics. I was getting tired of the fake special effects, lip synching, and oppression of the press as…

Congratulations Wanjiru! I saw that marathon race in its entirety and thought, what a strong finish! You've done Kenya proud.

I also thought Ndereba did a fantastic job of getting the silver for the women, in a race I also saw on TV in its entirety.

And let's not forget…

Congrats to the American men! It was a great win. I just wish they wouldn't wear so many tattoos. I have never seen so many volleyball men wearing so many tattoos. It got to the point where I thought I was watching an NBA game.

TheCode,

I also saw Hoshino say that. I didn't like him at the beginning of this tournament, since he seemed so confident; even overconfident of them winning a medal, but in the end, he was definitely humbled by this experience and now realizes the quality of players there are across…
