The US track and field team is just crushing it.

Between track and field, gymnastics and swimming, the coaches should be given huge raises.

Did anyone see the 200m Canoe sprint race today?

Hell of a crazy event. A lot of fun to watch.

It takes him so many less steps than everyone else to get to the finish line. He is like a perfectly built sprinter.

But he's not though, he's significantly taller than most other competitors.  He needs less steps, sure, but it's really awkward for him to get out of the blocks.

US Women were able to rerun the 4x100 after the appeal...  run by themselves, and advance.

I can't believe this... the Chinese federation supposedly is demanding the return of the bonuses they gave the gymnastics coaches after they did so well in Beijing...  

 

I wonder if this is one of those things where we have 1 word for bonus, while the Chinese have 8 different words for different flavors of them... regardless, I never heard of this kind of so-called bonus before...

Happy to see Tyson Gay get a medal.  I'm a big fan of his and he's deserved better in his Olympic career.  Wish they could've beat Japan for the silver, but at least he gets something from the Olympics out of his great career.

What'd they do this time?

 

Hasn't this happened for one reason or another time after time after time?   How hard can it be?
