That's really a mess they are relying on passports that are issued in China...to think China wouldn't falsify birthdates to compete for gold....

So back to swimming....

Coach what's up with the rogue russian swimming with all his hair?

I had to laugh in the swim off they were going on and on about the beard that was finally shaved, and he's swimming next to the russian with a full head of hair...I know the other guy was little compared to the Russian, but.......

A machine...an absolute machine.

Lochte took my loot!

Oh well he's a good guy. Glad he got an individual gold.

Big night for the U.S. and A. Soni had an unreal swim.

Still believe the girls are underperforming, however.

They all are suffering from that dreaded "intestinal disorder". That or they are too busy going out and getting hammered and putting the 100,000 condoms in the Olympic village to good use. Why do you think Phelps wants to cutback on his events next Olympics? It's not cause he wants less gold medals.

Sorry he took your loot....but I think he really did deserve that, he's been in the shadows of everyone else, finally it was his time to shine.

Soni's swim was fantastic.
Maybe so about the women underperforming, but I think more that it is not the favorites winning and the 2nd tier is showing up. And the 15 year old Elizabeth ???? is doing really well.

Big night tonite....
A 32 and 41 year old face off.

GO DARA, GO DARA!!!!

GO MICHAEL, GO MICHAEL!!!!

Holy Crap. It didn't look like he got there.

herkhorse · #**150** 08-15-2008, 10:21 PM

OK I am really convinced that he really is Aquaman! That was amazing!

herkhorse · #**154** 08-15-2008, 10:38 PM

The albatross wing-span pays off!

ArlJim78 · #**155** 08-15-2008, 10:40 PM

i did a calculation, .01 seconds equals .78 inches.

truly a fingertip win.

ninetoone · #**156** 08-15-2008, 10:47 PM

Cavic threw the challenge flag after the touch.

#**157** 08-16-2008, 12:04 AM

He's going to be getting some A-list poon.

I'm about tired of NBC and their Phelps is the best athlete ever in the olympics. Best swimmer, YES... best performance by an individual in the olympics... ABSOLUTELY

But... best athlete better be able to beat one of the old school guys that went pro in THREE sports (baseball, football, track), Jim Thorpe. Phelps can swim and swim only, so he's not even on my list as best athlete ever in the olympics.

He's got a neat little town named after him too, but athletes now a days are far superior to the ones back then, IMO.
