He's keeping the US hopes up.
Gymnastics sure isn't!!!
Sigh. I was ok with men taking bronze. I would even be ok with the women taking silver tonight, if they deserved it. But I don't think they did. They messed up bigger than what that team should *cough cough Alicia cough* have. I'm with Mikey on the scoring thing though. During the men's I thought we were being scored lower but I thought it was just me. So I payed close attention tonight and I swear it was different. I mean even the announcer at one point said "that should have been alot lower" when one of the chinese women majorly messed up. But don't even get me started on the stupid scoring. Maybe one day they will have it as good as it used to be. But right now it is one big mess. It's just wrong. Alicia probably would have stuck that beam landing if she hadn't had to wait around for 9348729847238 hours before she got on! *grumbles* It takes really good reason for me to be bitter about a loss, and I'm bitter about this one. Something just didn't feel right.
Phelps was amazing tonight, he went first and put the US relay team out a full length and a 1/2 in front of everyone else. It wasn't even a race! They stayed about 2 lengths in front of everyone the whole time. I think they broke the world record by 5 ! Michael is now the most decorated olympian of ALL TIME. dang
My back hurts. :(

For some reason the gymnastics this year just doesn't seem to have the flair and pazazz that it usually does. There are mistakes from every team, low morale and questionable judging. I'm still proud of all the athletes but I was hoping they would be a little cleaner.
I love Michael Phelps b/c even after all his accolades he appears to be one hell of a teammate. I just hope he doesn't tire out.
I'm having a blast watching smaller things like volleyball, basketball, archery, shooting, badminton and such. There's some real good competition out there.
