Anyone else watching sports in all of their free time? Because that's what I'm doing. 

I woke up and watched men's road cycling. Because why not.

Today I learned that Olympic badminton players are bulkier than bantamweight boxers.

Ryan Lochte flat out pwned Phelps in the IM. Good lord.

I will watch most sports featuring American teams/players, if it isn't swimming. I know that is cutting out a lot of sports, but I really can't get into it if I can't root for my country, and there is a godawful amount of swimming on TV. 

I will watch swimming finals, but that is about it.

I heard a short interview of the womens whatever silver medalist.  I felt really bad for her.  She won a silver medal in the freakin Olympics, and all the interviewer wanted to talk to her about was Phelps losing his race.

I've been watching. I had a job to do and it would have normally taken me about 5 hours...

It took about 12 because I kept watching the olympics...


The guy that took a header in the cycling Saturday morning, man that would be the worst, he led for so long, and to go out like that...

What a bummer. 

Glad for the "new" American Swimmer, he kicked phelps rear, and it was fun to watch. 

The women's double diving got scammed, the judges clearly didn't like them for some reason... Course they still got silver! Great dives. 

And the gymnastics. That ladies valuting was insane. That last girl went so stinking high!  I used to mess around on the gymnast gear at woodward (where most of the US Olympians train) and that stuff is crazy hard to do. 

Good games so far, A friend worked on the opening ceremonies. Which were a little too "political" for me...

He had tons of BMX guys who were training for it, and did all the preliminary stuff, only for them to drop them at the last minute...
They tremble at my name...

You mean Lochte? The guy who sank the Men's 4x100 relay team single-handedly? Looked like he expended all of his energy beating Phelps for a single medal and didn't save any of it for the team event.

Bet I can guess why FE enjoyed him beating phelps.

I think the Chinese rightfully won that by the small fraction that they did.  However, I don't understand how the Canadians came through with Bronze... all of their dives were quite noticeably out of sync at at least one point.

They got extra points because they don't get to practice in Canada with all the water being frozen.

Kayla Harrison won the USA's first gold in Judo today. 

She's got a hell of a story. Her previous coach was convicted of sexually abusing his students, including her. 

Also, holy crap RSA out of nowhere in the lightweight men's 4. 

I didn't know your people could row so well, Kayback.

Well, if that wouldn't motivate you to beat the living crap out of people in the ring, I don't know what would.
