UGH, you didn't miss much for the men! They stunk it up.
Anyone else think this is a bad Olympics for us? It's just not up to par and I'm slowing losing interest. I don't know if it's the crappy coverage or the fact so many US athletes are letting their nerves get the best of them.

I read about the controversy , I feel a little bad for her because people just automatically think something is up....which I don't know but maybe she really is that fast!

Heard about that too... also thought last night false beep to start that swim was unfair and distracting... we probably would've won gold... I think the games are still exciting, looking forward to track and field... I wish they would show some of the other events though... shooting, archery, judo and weight lifting..

Sarah~all those have been shown on the other NBC channels. DH finally got to see some Judo last night. The commentators have been super horrible too IMO. DH said 1 of the guys doing to Judo had no idea what Judo was! He was asking all these questions about it and couldn't even commentate on the match. They have McEnroe interviewing swimmers, shouldn't he be interviewing the tennis players?!?!

SPOILERS, SPOILERS EVERYWHERE! I'm so mad! I purposely blocked all the news outlets on FB after one leaked results over the weekend without any warning. Then today NON news outlets like Target Center had to go spoil it. I should of stayed off the internet today. It won't be as exciting now!

I haven't really seen Ryan Seacrest but once...he must be on the channels I don't have! But yeah he shouldn't be covering sports!
Saw on the news tonight that the 16 yr old from China was tested and is clean! Girl is just fast!

I saw Ryan on this Saturday during the day....he hasn't appeared on primetime, but it was clear he is not a sportscaster! Watching the gymnastics tonight is not as much fun since I know the results....wish all the big events were spoiled

Ugh, is anyone else disgusted by the cameras being shoved in athletes faces as soon as they're done? Give them some space already!

I agree Irish! I especially hate when they ask someone about how they feel that they "lost" and they got a silver or bronze.....IMO if someone is competing in the Olympics than even if they didn't medal they still didn't "lose". To be in the top 10 in the world at something is an amazing accomplishment and I think too much focus is on the gold.

I was watching the Chinese swimmer last night and they didn't say a word about her being tested and cleared! They were talking about how she is now under the microscope for doping just like many others before her and talking all about dropping time, etc, etc, etc. Wonder if it wasn't done by the time they taped that to be aired or something. I agree even though the results for Gymnastics and Phelp's not winning the fly were ruined for me I still enjoyed watching them. I didn't see the results for him winning the medal in the relay though so that was exciting!
