As for 2012, I hope they can clear up this bullshit with the (alleged) age of those Chinese gymnasts. It's in the Chinese' interests to have them be eligible, and the Chinese government issues the passports that "prove" their age. Anybody else think that is messed up?

 

Yea I think it is messed up.  The old US Gymnastics coach, the guy with the moustache from mother Russia has a big problem with it.  He called China out on it during the team competion.  He is right.  It is also true that they stick these kids on a balance beam when they are 3.  It is ridiculous. 

Hopefully Shawn Johnson can hold off Lukin right now and get a gold.  She deserves it.

 GB already has its highest medal count since at least the 72 Games in Munich.

You guys HAVE to watch the 200m mens sprint. It will contain humanity at its highest and its lowest (I mean that from an emotional stand point, not because of poor sportsmanship). I will not say more.

I wanted to see the BMX race. Too bad I turned the channel after I watched womens gymnastics.
