I wish he would finish a race especially in the finals...I could see letting up in the prelims but run the finals and destroy the field/records. In the 100 he let up with like 20m to go...


Wow that was a sick run in the 200...he ran it full tilt the entire run...facing a slight head wind makes the record even more sick. 6'5" wonder if he can catch a football?

Once again another US Boxer got robbed!

That Andrae kid got hosed. He connected on alot more punches then that Korea dude. That is why you hate Olympic boxing!

A travesty. No way that Korean beat him by two! If anything it would have been a mockery if it was a tie much less a two point loss!

Has anyone else noticed that China's players and teams seem to be getting favorable treatment? When an American gymnast and a Chinese gymnast had an exact tie on an event the Chinese gymnast got 1st. They said there was a "built in tiebreaker"....not buying it. Also, in womens beach volleyball the China team was ranked #1 in the tournament, but they are ranked #2 in the world behind Team USA....who ironically enough got the #2 seed in the tournament. Just a few observations......

never heard of home court advantage?

for gymnastic that's what you get when different judges are giving scores to different gymnasts, everyone standard is different. About the tiebreak, there were 3 tiebreak on that night, not just the US.

do you even watch sports? does ranking really matter? New England Patriots was ranked #1, but they lost to the NY Giants and got the #2 seed instead.

The problem with the Chinese is that while they are fantastic Gymnasts, they always seem to be favoured a bit by the judges, they don't seem that neutral at all.

I only notice favoritism with the Chinese in Gymnastics and Diving.

Lol the IOC is investigating the age of a Chinese gymnast and if she is disqualifed Nastia Liukin would win gold in that event(women's uneven parallel bars). Rofl@ the Chinese.

Costas just reported that is no surprise to anyone following these games.

Documents have surfaced that has put one of the Chinese women gymnists at 14, 2 under the requirement of 16 years of age. If this were to pass, the Chinese would be left with 3 bronze medals in womens gymnastics. Luken would get the gold, and the US team would get the gold.

Possible roster: Lillard/Mathews/Batum*/LA/Leonard
