    Anybody? I heard the player swam underwater behind the goalie and took it out of her hand and scored with a second left. I'd LOVE to see that play!

    This should not be understated. I watched most of the events. Eaton dominated.
    He is the best overall athlete in the world.

    It takes a ton of skill and athletic ability to win this grueling event.

    I do respect that Japanese team. I mentioned it earlier, but they seemed to fall down less than any other international soccer team (men's or women's). They don't dive. Great game by both teams.

    The 800M winning time was ridiculous. New world record. Both US runners just missed the medal stand with 4th and 5th place finishes.

    Both Solomon and Symmonds run a personal best under 1:43.

    Do you do that in real life, too? When someone tries to be funny and crack a little joke, you grade it based on how funny or creative you thought it was?

    You'd be an annoying friend.

    Anyways, yay USA!

    +1.

    I doubt he has many friends. He gets butt hurt over the smallest things.

    argh, the Bahamas ran down the US on the final 100m to win the gold, US with the silver

    Found a good quality video of that Canadian female soccer player stomping on Carli Lloyd's face. For anyone who was arguing that Canada got the raw deal, watch this video and any sympathy goes away. Canada should have been playing the majority of the second half down 1 player as that is a red card flat out.
