I'd say 100m to 400m is probably a better comparison (aside from the fact that the 50m "splash and dash" is probably more akin to a 100m, but that takes us down a path where comparisons like this fall apart).

I missed most of the ceremony, but I did see Take That's performance. I had no idea that the lead singer suffered such a horrible tragedy.

They have very different running styles. Jeter seems to have more of a piston-type motion. Felix had a fantastic Olympics.

Oh wow, the Men's 10m Platform final was unbelievable. I've never been this fired up about a diving event.

I really enjoyed watching the relays last night. They were both big in their own ways. The US men not winning gold in the 4x400 for the first time in a long,, long time and the US women breaking the WR in the 4x100. I don't know what it is about the way she runs, but I love watching Jeter run...

Wow. That's tough.

And I appreciate that Scott.

Kirani James winning was a great moment. Especially when it was the first gold medal for his country and when he seems like such a good sport. I was happy for him. Scott, the rings always impress and amaze me. I can't even imagine doing it at my age and with a torn biceps to boot. We were due...

Rapinoe's two goals were pretty spectacular (even if the defender on the second made a huge mistake) too. A couple of neat Olympic moments/stories in case you missed them: http://news.yahoo.com/gymnastics-grimacing-jovtchev-relieved-over-171051817--spt.html...

It has been quite a match. Full of great play, breakdowns, drama and it may be headed to penalties.

Scott, we had a very similar experience watching it. What did we do before DVRs? And Cameron and Scott, I think, but am not sure, that the footage of Strug was shown before. Regardless, it was something to see and definitely made me cringe. I too like it when the marathon finishes in the...

The piece NBC did on the USA's "Magnificent 7" winning the gold medal in 1996 was great. Kerri Strug's second vault is seared in my memory to this day. It's one of the great moments in the history of sports.

Dang you Scott! :-) I even started Googling it before I checked your spoiler.

I have been very annoyed by this practice as well. And it is just stupid not to show the score. On the subject of NBC's coverage: http://adage.com/article/media/nbc-sports-admits-mistakes-calls-critics-loud-minority/236463/
