I also noticed earlier in these games that women volleyball players are really good looking to me. (This comment really has nothing to do with the 10,000 meters but this race is pretty long and my mind wanders).

Urrggh, I missed that.

Galen Rupp's a good young runner, but his best is still over a minute slower than the WR, so we've still got a long way to go.

I was rooting for Gebreselassie for sentimental reasons. Oh, well.

Thanks. It was an impressive race.

Didn't someone just say this morning that we sucked at rowing? Where did that comment go?

They said that Rowand sucked. It was all just a misunderstanding.

DOWN GOES LU XIANG!! DOWN GOES LU XIANG!!

Billions of Chinese are weeping...

I feel like a bad person to take pleasure in this. I feel bad for him that his moment was taken away from him, but the nationalistic side of me finds some happiness in this.

Your nationalistic side finds happiness in anything any Chinese person fails at without regard to any benefit of any American?

Another stroll in the park for the Redeem Team.

If a chinese person fails that means less medals if they get less medals there is a better chance we will win the medal count.
