Posted: 8/15/08 at 1:35pmI love watching MSNBC's coverage during the day. I've already seen Badminton, archery, and now some weird bike race.

Posted: 8/15/08 at 2:00pmSo I'm watching the medal ceremony from the all-around and as the man is handing Nastia the flowers you can hear him say "Don't cry it's a great day. Don't cry please don't cry smile. Good work" .

#507the olympics! official thread of all-things games!
Posted: 8/15/08 at 2:49pmwickedrentq- my sentiments exactly! That's why I love Nastia. Does anyone know if they are even gonna cover Rhythymic (sp?)gymnastics? If so- when?
#508the olympics! official thread of all-things games!
Posted: 8/15/08 at 2:59pmnbc.com has a very detailed - albeit somewhat clunky - online schedule. Rhythmic gymnastics quals are next Thursday during the daytime.

Posted: 8/15/08 at 3:15pmThey'll probably show rhythmic gymnastics on some channel, but probably not on NBC prime time. Probably on MSNBC, CNBC, or USA.

When did the trampoline become a medal event in the Olympics?
Has it replaced synchronized swimming?
#511the olympics! official thread of all-things games!
Posted: 8/15/08 at 3:22pmSynchro swimming is still in. Trampoline has been around since at least the Olympics prior to these.

It's been a pleasure. Really.
I'm so glad many of us are able to share our passion, interest, anger, laughs (and libido?), comments, criticism, anxiety and thrill of The Games together!!!

Gaaah, I tried to post a picture of Aaron Peirsol's bedroom eyes, but no-go.
Speaking of body parts, did anyone notice Michael Phelp's feet? NBC was doing a close-up of his feet on the starting block and how he sort of grips the front with his toes. I noticed that the top of his feet are hairy. Hmmm, I wonder why he doesn't shave those.

#518the olympics! official thread of all-things games!
Posted: 8/15/08 at 8:14pmYeah, I noticed his toe-hairs (hahaha this feels Josh Strickland-y). He probably draws-the-line there.... ain't no razor sensitive enough to manuever around toe-knuckles. He'd have to pluck and that's just madness. His feet were so massive. Gotta be some fetishers writhing over that :)

Posted: 8/15/08 at 8:17pmEug, toe waxing is torture. So, I can see why he prefers the fur.

Watching the Nastia/Shawn interview with Costas:
Nastia has such a fluidic mouth as she talks... watch the corners of her mouth... like a radio wave. So pretty.
Shawn's really cute... she's working and struggling to express herself with her 16 y/o vocabulary and language-maturity.
These are girls in a very serious sport but we have to remember how young they still are!!!

Posted: 8/15/08 at 9:18pmI had to turn it off. Bob Costas really gets on my nerves.
