There's a German guy wearing sunglasses at night while he's doing the pole vault. Why?

There's a story online that Wambach sort of coerced the delay call by repeatedly standing near the official and counting out loud whenever the Canadian keeper had the ball. If that's true, pretty smart move on Wambach's part.
I'm really, really enjoying the incessant bitterness from the Canadians. Good luck in that bronze medal game Fifi, Yvette and Claudine.

Artie, not sure if you caught the end of the US women's soccer match today, but... wow!!!
I saw some highlights today. USA looked like it got a break on the events that led to its third goal, but so what? The Canadians lost. It doesn't matter how.

If its women's volleyball team is indicative of the attractiveness of Turkish women, I'm all for the burka.

This Chinese beach volleyball player is just flawless.

It's almost silly watching these elite sprinters go about 90% and run the 100 in 10 seconds.
At this stage, I'm not sure I could run 100 meters. Or 10 seconds at full speed.
I don't get synchronized swimming. What's in their hair? Is that lacquer thinner?

"There are a lot of "sports" recognized as Olympic events that I find silly. Ping pong? Why not beer pong. And if we're going to include badminton then washers, horseshoes and jarts should have their place in the spotlight as well."
You're on to something here. How about a Fat Slob Decathlon where you have all those sports and you have to chug a pitcher of beer after each event? Cheating is encouraged. And drug use is mandatory. Anyone with clean urine is disqualified.
I thought diving would be alot more interesting if there was a minimum weight limit of 250lbs.

I have kind of phased out the Olympics. I started strong but have got bored.
I'm kind of done with the swimming and the gymnastics. I like both versions of volleyball and the water polo.

I'm still watching. I couldn't care less about basketball, but I've enjoyed watching kids like the gymnasts or some of the swimmers because other than the Olympics you'll never hear of them again. Last night a 15 year old American girl won a gold medal in one of the swimming events. When they played the National Anthem she started crying. It was pretty cool because you know that unless she somehow ends up in a bunch of commercials like Michael Phelps, she's never going to get rich doing this. But shel still had to work just as hard and I appreciated the pride she took in winning for the US.

Having said that, the man (it had to have been a man) who decided that what the Olympics were missing was physically fit women in bikinis flopping around on a make shift beach playing volleyball was pure genius.
Now if we can get the IOC to recognize jello wrestling and synchronized wet t-shirt competitions, we'd really have some "must-see TV"
