He is a freakin' machine, wow!

Men's Gymnastics - Team USA on High Bar wow!! Finally sticking those landings not to mention those crazy release moves. Too bad there were errors on Floor Ex. Stupid errors and the two misses on P. Horse.

That's gotta suck to know you f'd it up for the whole team. Luckily it wasn't just 1 guy it was 3 guys. Oh well. Bronze is good.

^^^ Yeah bronze is good seeing that the US team wasn't even expected to win ANYTHING since that the Hamm brothers pulled out of the olympics.

I haven't watched too much of the Olympics this year, but tonight with the end of swimming and some of the track and field events I was pretty entertained.

Quote from: "AFP"

Spanish sailors Fernando Echavarri and Anton Paz won an Olympic Games gold medal on Thursday and then marked the occasion by donning black armbands in honour of the 153 people killed in the Madrid air disaster.

Echavarri and Paz clinched their first Olympic medal in the Tornado class in stormy conditions at Qingdao, seeing off Australian pair Glenn Ashby and Darren Bundock.

The duo then climbed the podium wearing a black armband each despite Spanish media reporting that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) had banned arm bands as well as the flying of the national flag at half-mast at the Spanish section of the Athletes Village.

Has the IOC gone too far with censorship? I can see the issue with having
a set of guidlines that would control protests of the Tibet issue, but this is
taking the respect for victims in an athelete's country out of their free will!

Peace
