American gymnast just drilled a triple off the vault, nailed the landing and is in 3rd.

Guess I'm not gay enough to understand. The wrong guy won the rings as well but everyone in the place agreed on that.

Yeah....as long you haven't any clues of the finishes it doesn't matter when you watch it.

But, as most people probably do not care to "stay in the dark" or are on Twitter and other social networking sites all day and realistically can't (I am practically the only person of all my friends -- or probably my age -- who never got face book), then I agree, NBC should also show the events live earlier in the day.

Knowing who wins a particular event and watching it happen (even via tape delay) are two different things.

Gold for the Chinese guy that took two giant steps.


The American dude (who did great) needs to go wash off his ovaries.

Saw somewhere that someone was very impressed with how many medals China had won....especially considering the same person was in every event.

If her and Tebow lost their virginity to each other, the universe would implode.

Their baby would break all of Phelps records because it would walk (or run) on water.

Last Romanian girl with a little Pink Floyd on her floor routine. Can't say I've ever heard that in a gymnastics event before.

Haha- great minds think alike. Too bad she didn't play the whole 15 minutes or however long it is.

Heard they were almost going to be involved in the closing ceremonies, but they're saying it won't happen. :thumbdown:

Did they show the high jump more than once? Only caught it once and I wanted to see him up on podium.

Thanks for the clarification. I thought he may be the Nebraska boy from Toledo.

Welp, finally was able to go all day without getting tonights results (for the 200M Final, mens only) of events I care about. First time Ive tried, but I am free all night, so I figured I might as well watch it "live".

Still pissed I have to do this and avoid all other outlets till its shown. Bullshit.
