Olympics (Discussion and Results aka Spoilers)

    Dana Vollmer has another good 100Fly swim. She went 56.25 in prelimes to go under the OR, then a 56.36 in semi-finals (under the WR mark by quite a bit at 50 then turned it off in the last 25 as she had a big lead). There is a good chance she'll grab that WR in the finals of this event.

    Haha, ya, I have that on my TV while watching swimming on the computer.

    I am a fan of volleyball whether it be indoors or beach.

    HOLY SHIT THE VOLLEYBALL IS ACTUALLY BEING SHOWN LIVE

    I love how they show dumb shit live and force all of the good shit into tape delay so they get prime time ratings.

    Elizabeth Beisel looking great at the 200M mark in the 400IM especially since she has a strong second half.
  • Fly4Fun
    Wow, Ye (China) goes ape shit on the freestyle leg and crushes the WR and takes Gold.

    Beisel takes silver.

    I can't stand the crap Hansen puts over his teeth for the medal ceremonies. It looks dumb as hell.

    Worst part about the on-line feed is I'm having to close out and restart it every few minutes or it starts lagging up real bad. I wish they'd just put it on one of the channels live.

    With as many channels as NBCUniversal owns, it really is inexcusable.

    us falling behind, they grab the bronze.
  • Fly4Fun
    Allison Schmidt for the US is 4th

    Aussies take Gold
    Netherlands Silver
    USA takes bronze which is a bit of a disappointment considering the swimmers.
