northlondon,

"Japan are the current World Baseball Classic Champions. Like it or not, that makes them default world champions until this Olympics is through"

Wrong ! The WBC winner does not lay claim to the "world champion" title. Organizers of the event were very clear that the WBC was nothing…

What an interesting concept. First, the Chinese send out underaged athletes (alleged) and then the overall judging becomes suspect as "ties" are suddenly awarded to chinese athletes. And all the media can say is "disapponted" ? Hey ! Try robbed ! This has been a scam since day one. Shame…

Phelps is simply "the" story of these Olympics. Too bad the Japanese media missed the boat with extremely poor coverage of this monumental event. Congratulations to Phelps and the USA for it's unique culture that encourages top rate performances from it's people. Well done !

"sorry, not baseball. I meant softball (though they're both the same to me)."

Well that explains it ! And you want to be taken seriously I suppose.

Great to see the Americans doing so well at these Olympics. Contrary to what a variety of the American bashers stationed here at Japantoday have to say, the Americans are once again going to threaten the 100 medal barrier, this inspite of early predictions that 70-80 would be adequate. But…
