^^ It got pulled for copyright infringement. NBC sucks, they should have allowed posts on youtube during the Olympics. It would have helped a viral marketing of people watching it and some of the events and storylines & overall getting more interested in the games. I think they've been awesome so far.

Allyson Felix isn't destroying the competition like expected. Probably the most disappointing aspect of these Olympics. She is basically the heir to the Marion Jones throne.

Last night had some good stuff. I saw the gymast (Sandra Johnson?) win the balance beam. She did great, there was a Romanian girl who was flawless. Although I think they said she had a lower degree of difficulty than the rest. Still almost perfect. A Lolo Jones hit the second to last hurdle while in first, ruining her chance for gold. The poor girl, they said was orphaned & in foster homes & moved once a year until high school she finally said she wanted to stay at one house to practice track. She took it really well though, they interviewed her & she just said it happens once in a while, & this time happened at the worst possible moment but there nothing she can do. "It usually happens about twice a year, today was one of them" I give her credit. Another American ended up winning, and she barely qualified for the team. She's from the same area as Jackie Joyner Kersey & said she advised her "On race day, anyone can win" and sure enough it happened.

And how about this Jamacian sprinter??  This guy is blazing!!

BTW - Did anyone see the Visa commercial about the guy who got a cramp in 1992 & his dad came out & walked with him to the finish line. Man, I almost forgot about that but that was one of the better Olympic moments in history.

^^ That was awesome.. Those Chinese V-Ball girls were hot too. Smoking bodies, I'd eat them up like a roast beef sandwich.

Anyone see the Jamacain set another record. He blew away the competition.
