swimming has way too many medals involved.

they would have cut the number down if countries like US and Austrailia werent so good at it.

US men Gymnastic team is looking good. Good chance to steal a silver from the Japanese. Chinese team seems to be a bit out of reach now.

Fixed. One of the US gymnasts just made some major errors on his floor routine.

Wow what a performance by the Chinese men's gynastics team! Gold! The whole crowd was electric!

canoner · Post #156 » by **canoner** » Tue Aug 12, 2008 5:13 am

yeah, the US team blew it, BADLY! Yes, they have had a lot of adversaries, but they BLEW it at the end. The fact that they celebrated so cheerfully says how low an expectation they had for themselves.

The Chinese team is like ET among humans. #1 in 5 out 6 events. We may have to go back to former Soviet years to find a as dominating team.

That guy Sasha saved the day for the US. Without him, no metals.

Man that indian and asian guy on the gymnastics team sorta ruined it. But, I'm really satisfied with the U.S. is getting bronze winning without their best gymnist.

I kind of expected them to win a medal even after the lasted injuries. After China and Japan, the filed is quite open, this current US team still had the talents to win over the rest. If not for the last minute injuries, I'd expected them have 50/50 chance win the silver. So they got what they should got tonight, but they let the silver slip away.

U.S. Men's Volleyball team is doing a good job against Italy. 21 to 11 right now, 1-1 match, they are going to win.
