There's something wrong with that table, we (Argentina) don't have 4 bronzes, we've got 3.

I'm off to see basketball, today we beat the Dream Team

 

Sorry 'bout that, maybe next time.  Now it's only Spain left to go and we're more than capable of beating them again.  I just hope the players don't let their previous blowout go to their heads.  Focus, play solid defense, and take high percentage shots not contested threes.

We started very bad, so that killed our chances. Now we've got to beat Lithuania and keep a medal. The Dream Team is very strong, it's stronger than in Athens, they'll beat Spain again.

I didn't see your pool game against them, but judging from the box score it was pretty close.  I don't normally watch bronze medal games when we're not playing, but since they're going to be back to back maybe I'll watch this one.

I didn't either. I'm not a big fan of basketball, so I only watch the important matches. But from what I've heard, we lost in the last ball. But without Ginobili, this game will be hard

How do you even get into pole vaulting? It just seems like it would scare the shnikes out of me. I might drop the poll and ram it into my stomach.

Congrats to the Australians for winning the Gold in Poll vaulting.

Shawn Johnson is beautiful and is 16yo same age as me! She should have won Gold but (argh) dunno what happened. Still amazing gymnast<3
The US owned volleyball and we won twice in a row! Misty Mays butt is HUGE!
I was gay for Michael Phelps like the rest of America and saw him own in most of his races. .001 ftw!

Done!

Well Shawn Johnson did win one gold medal.

"Johnson beat her friend and teammate on the balance beam, the last women's gymnastics event at the Beijing Games.

Shawn Johnson finally got the gold medal she came to Beijing for in the balance beam on Tuesday.

"I finished off the Olympic Games with, to me, the most perfect ending ever," Johnson said, beaming as she tugged at the ribbon around her neck. "To finally get the gold medal ... on my very last routine meant the world to me.""

 

dammit! I cant belive I missed it! >.< Thanks for telling me though and thats amazing for Shawn.=)
