Another diving gold for China!

[Texas Longhorns]

Screw China, I hate them. We better take the next water polo game.

Serena Williams won as usual, Greece dominated Germany in mens basketball.. team USA basketball is going to come on in 4 hours on USA.

Don't be a hater dude. What's wrong with respecting someone else's success?

The China vs. Spain game is pretty close right now. Good game.

[timlin500]

Wow China's on fire from 3.

I'm not hating them. I was just saying, it's competitive nature to say stuff like that when the other country keeps getting gold, you know what I mean?

Yeah, of course I respect China, but I want the U.S. to be able to beat them in Gold medals and total medals overall. Hopefully, Team USA will get it done, I have confidence in them that they will.

That's cool dude, now let's hope China can get more gold and Canada get at least one before the games are over.

[Texas Longhorns]

No, hell no, why would I hope China gets more gold? The major sports are going to be taken by the U.S. with gold, except for maybe baseball, I'm not sure where that would go. I think the U.S. is in a good situation right now to get a lot of golds in a short amount of time.

Close field hockey game between the U.S. women and Japanese women. 1-1 right now.

And China wins a gold in men's fencing!

[The Duke]

but prolly Canada's best chance for a swimming medal is also gonna be tonite in the 4x200 men freestyle relay in prime time (on East Coast NBC, or CBC)

Canada placed fifth overall based on time to qualify for the semi's... but i think they rested their top 2-3 swimmers... depending on who does it.

My guess is Andrew Hurd, Collin Russel, Brent Hayden are locks for 3 swimmers... which is a VERY strong team.... but the 4th swimmer... tho might be Joel Greenshields (who had an amazing 100m in the relay) or Adam Sioui who posted a better time then Brain Johns suprisely

Phelphs and the rest of the "A" squad will win gold in World Record time for the USA, while Canada will realistically hopefully take bronze or silver a good distance back

[GQStylin]

Another gold for China in men's weightlifting!

And here's hoping that Canada can win something soon!

[Point forward]

Thank god Germany is now no longer an Olympic gold virgin. Kudos to our canoers and judoka, who pwn our crappy fencers, shooters, and especially SWIMMERS.

[Texas Longhorns]

God, China is just racking up gold medals everywhere.

US beat Venezuela in softball 11-0, which is an Olympic record for most runs scored

[hermes]

Gina Miles of the US, just got a silver in Equestrian, eventing individual

[LLJ]

I actually had a false hope that Canada could have medalled in synch women's diving. Silly me.

[Posey H8er]

US beat Venezuela in softball 11-0, which is an Olympic record for most runs scored

Really only 11 was the record? I think it was also a combined no hitter. That is domination.

[GQStylin]

Another gold for Phelps as expected.
