Does China ever lose in diving? They seem to always win!

JohnAndrew · 07-30-2012, 03:50 PM

Phelps looked pretty good in the 200 Fly semis! HUGE kick the last 50 meters! Definitely bodes well for him moving forward.

Final 50 looked great for Phelps, but he started off weak. This is supposed to be his top event, and he didn't look too strong. Qualified 4th.

We'll have to see, though. Maybe it is strategy, maybe he's saving his energy for tomorrow.

Man, Lochte looked tired...too much stress, too much hype?

That would be the only acceptable excuse.

We should check with the IOC if they award latex medals.

Team Gold for Women's Gymnastics! Woo hooooooo!!!!!

Olympic Tennis match of the century just ended, with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France defeating Milos Raonic of Canada 6-3, 3-6, 25-23 (the longest set in Olympic tennis history).

I guess there isn't another game for Milos

Adios for #9 on Korea

JohnAndrew · 07-31-2012, 02:53 PM

Missy Franklin BARELY misses out on a medal in the 200 Free...one-hundredth of a second off the bronze! American Schmitt takes the gold easily.

Phelps up now!

jetscollector10 · 07-31-2012, 02:56 PM

OMG, the 200 butterfly ending was insane

JohnAndrew · 07-31-2012, 02:57 PM

WOW!!!!!!! Stunning race in the 200 Fly...Phelps leads the whole way, but mistimes the final touch! Still holds on for silver for his historic 18th medal...congratulations Michael!

JohnAndrew · 07-31-2012, 04:00 PM

Americans doin' work in the 4x200 relay right now...

pkscards · 08-01-2012, 01:56 PM

Danell Leyva just dominated his last two events to have an epic come from behind finish and win Bronze in the all-around.

mnvikingstwins · 08-01-2012, 08:41 PM

This synchronized diving in primetime is the first sport I've heard where the announcer is actually pretty good. Telling what scores people are needing to stay ahead, critiquing the dives even if they look pretty good, and very few stupid stories.

JohnAndrew · 08-02-2012, 01:23 PM

Congratulations to GABBY DOUGLAS on winning all-around gold! Raisman pushed out of medal contention due to 3rd-place tiebreaker.

Dacubs · 08-02-2012, 01:28 PM

Tie breaker stinks...should just have 2 bronze medalists in the event of a tie

Agreed...that's really too bad for Aly.

Rebecca Soni sets world record and wins gold in 200m breaststroke

Superradsax · 08-02-2012, 03:20 PM

Got her silver auto up on ebay

JohnAndrew · 08-02-2012, 03:27 PM

Phelps...that is all.

pkscards · 08-02-2012, 06:02 PM

Aly got screwed, whatever. She was great.

mnvikingstwins · 08-02-2012, 06:44 PM

About time the US actually beat somebody by a bit, no way any of the other countries should even be able to play competitively with their roster.
