    I've been with a few women who did track... one was very attractive then went into body building and its still pretty hot but its also scary because she is even more muscluar than some of these olypmians lol.

    Four medals for Missy Franklin already, and probably a fifth on the way, in her first Olympics. I could possibly see her challenging Phelps' medal record in years to come if she sticks around long enough.

    USA swimming once again flexing its muscle in the Olympics. Love it.

    Hilarious i just got sports illustrated in the mail yesterday and there is an article that covers US swimming's coming down to earth. Looks like SI jumped the gun.

    what the hell were they basing that on? lol, the US is completely dominating swimming, 28 total metals and the 2nd place is China and Japan with only 9. 14 gold for the US compared to 2nd with 4.
  • tk421
    final few puts coming up, US still in bronze need a huge throw to jump up the podium.
  • tk421
    nope, US is going to take the Bronze in men's shot put.
  • tk421

    The more important thing here is why the fuck are you getting SI magazines?

    I do. I like to read print, even though I still peruse ESPN.com, SI.com, 11W, etc.

    Any negative attention he receives he brought on himself.

    Phelps is just a monster of a swimmer and athlete.

    The 4x100 Medley Relay tomorrow night should be an easy win for the USA with the top back, 3rd breast, top fly, and top free legs.
    Agreed- Lochte seemed to get a little more full of himself after winning the 400IM early on.

    That was awesome- spoiled it for the British girl.

    Glad I got to see Phelps in his prime, even past his prime is still better than just about everyone else.

    Even though the men's 4x100 came up short, nice to see Nathan Adrian win the 100 freestyle- first American male since '92.

    Had to DVR Phelps' 100 Fly tonight. Just finished watching, and couldn't be happier for him. Like jhay78 said, it was awesome to see such a great swimmer in his prime the last 12 years or so. 21 medals, 17 of those gold. Simply unbelievable.

    I know we've talked about this all week, but even though Phelps clearly wasn't the same swimmer that he was in Beijing, he's still going to finish with 6 medals in London, 3 or 4 of those being gold. Obviously the 400 IM was disappointing. I didn't expect him to win it since he hadn't really trained for it, but I thought he would medal. He really had the 200 Fly won, but had a poor finish at the wall and got out-touched. The 200 IM and 100 Fly almost looked like the Phelps of old, and his legs in the relays have been extremely fast. Even after not putting much effort into preparation the last few years, the guy is still unbelievably good. If tomorrow's 4x100 medley relay is truly his final race, he has definitely gone out in style. Really hate to see it all end, but he has given us some great Olympic memories that will last a lifetime.

    Biondi was in '88. The great Popov started his reign over sprint freestyle in '92.

    Thank you for that clarification, I was confused there for a minute.

    Serena Williams took singles Gold over Sharapova in an absolute shellacking.

    Lithuania only down 4 to the US Men's BBall team at half. US defense looks terrible so far today.

    And then c-walked on that bitch lol

    Lithuania making it a close game with the US... only down 3 with 4 to go.

    And in soccer a Senegal player just blatantly threw a flying kick to the face of a Mexico player and only a yellow was given. It should have most definitely been a red. Score tied 2-2 after Mexico was up 2-0
  • Fly4Fun
    Well LeBron definitely took control of that game at the end to put an end to the potential upset.

    Ah yes you're right. I was just parroting what I thought I heard the NBC guys saying.

    Rowdy Gaines- 84
    Biondi- 88
    Popov- 92 and 96
    van den Hoogenband- 00 and 04
    Bernard- 08
    Adrian- 12
