There's some bizarre track cycling event on USA right now. And, for you America haters, US athletes don't seem all that prominent.

It seems like a real life version of Rollerball, there's a motorcycle involved.

Kieren is what it's called.

OK, this doesn't seem as exciting as they made it sound at first. "You can see the tension". Well, I want action, not tension. OK, they're speeding up now a little.

we're currently in 4th. cuba is 4-0, korea 2-0, japan 2-1, we're 2-2, china is 1-2, and then canada, netherlands, and taiwan are 1-3. you need to finish in the top 4 to make the medal round.

us will play china on monday, taiwan on tuesday, and japan on wednesday.

China won a baseball game? Fer crying out loud, they just started playing baseball like two years ago (baseball was banned by the Chinese government until a couple of years ago).

This gold medal badminton game is pretty exciting.

And, for 41, Dara is hot.

0.01 from gold :cry:

That was the one and only Olympics event I've gone out of my way to see, and it was pretty exciting if ultimately disappointing.

I think she's swimming again right now.

Another silver for the Torres and the US. Still, hot, hot, hot. I'm thinking if Jamie Moyer can still pitchat 45, there's no reason Torres can't compete in 2012.

Awesome. That is really just awesome.

Medal ceremony on NBC. Way more happy than Phillies.

Words don't describe how fast Usain Bolt is

He's gotta run through the line there. He could have gone sub 9.6.

Just a freak of nature though. I'm hopeful that some NBC branch will show him in the 200 live. It sucked seeing that race knowing he already won.

i doubt that bolt guy has ever played baseball, but he'd be more useful on the phils than taguchi

sorry if it's been discussed, but the Australian women's bball team are wearing track uniforms, pretty much.
