    He's amazing... it's almost (but not really) kinda sad for the other swimmers... :laugh:

    They should just give him the medals now... save everyone the effort...

    Ya...DH and I were laughing our butts off eating our smores...I looked at him and said that I was too tired to go running last night. He looked at the TV and then me and said, "Have another!"

    I was so loopy, tired, and done. LOL

    oooohhhh... looks like they've moved to the beam and China is making mistakes!!

    hopefully the US girls will have a rock star performance on beam like they did in the prelims...

    GO USA!!

    and how about that relay by the guys.... WHOOOOOO!! Phelps is incredible...

    Yep, I'm there with y'all! :yawn: But the men's relay team was awesome - they just left everyone in the proverbial dust.

    It definitely is "interesting" to look at the Chinese gymnasts compared to the Americans. The Americans have all clearly hit puberty (except maybe Shawn Johnson - she's tiny), and at least half the Chinese team are just NOT there yet. :laugh:

    Oh no, Alicia Sacramore just fell off the beam! But the rest of her routine was solid. Poor girl. :cry:

    oh well... I guess Silver isn't anything to sneeze at!

    That poor girl is going to beat herself up for ever... I don't know how she kept her composure and didn't cry... those darn cameras... they should leave her alone...
