Great Britain has won medals in more sports/events than any other country.
Allyson Felix tomorrow y'all!!
Me likes.
I can't say I know much about gymnastics, but holy fucking shit! That's insane. What the hell did the gold medalist pull off to beat that?!
Me too. I'm pretty much Phelp's and most definitely Lochte'd out, ready for T/F to start the fuck on up. Lochte is done, yes, so, there's that.
So happy for Gabby Douglas, she made history too as the first African American to win gold in the all around.
I'm happy when I win a few softball games in a row, so, yeah. I'm always on team greatness
and, erm, sorry about the Phelps gushing last night. white wine makes me sentimental.

Men's Indoor Volleyball win over Brazil was nice. From a purely athletic standpoint, I much prefer Indoor to Beach Volleyball.

And for those of you saying gymnastics is not as good as it used to be... yeah. I just saw this.

I've watched the slomo about 10 times and I still don't see how this is humanly possible.
And apparently she didn't get a perfect 10 for this and only won silver.

Those dudes can fucking THUMP a serve. Damn.
Volleyball is a great sport at a high level. I think it's the next college sport that will grow, sort of like women's softball. Hopefully ESPN won't monopolize it. Unfortunately, that may be what it takes to grow it. Fucking ESPN...
I'd never seen that. Holy crap!
Is it now no longer the style to have that move where, to get to the high bar, they stand on the low bar? That always looked so weird and awkward compared to everything else in the routine.
USA-New Zealand women's soccer Quarterfinal 9:30 AM ET.
I say NZ puts up more of a fight than people might expect. Maybe 3-1 USA win.
How could anyone not be moved by the sight of Drysdale choking back the tears at achieving his life's dream after sickness restricted him to bronze in Beijing.
And while we're still delirious, here's a question: What's the difference between the New Zealand Rowing team and the entire Australian Olympic squad?
The Kiwi oarspeople have more gold medals.
Today's Lake Dorney double - coupled with Nathan Cohen and Joseph Sullivan's pairs triumph - means New Zealand has three gold medals to Australia's ONE.
Pass that big can of borax please. No, on second thoughts, give us the silo.
Savour the moment New Zealand. While we can. We've suffered enough Australian opprobrium over the years.
