i meant he only beat the wr by .02 :P

is anyone surprised that Bolt didn't beat the world record by any more?

while Phelps has been the winningest athlete in these games, Bolt is by far the most dominant.

even the Bela guy on NBC wasn't too upset at the process that derived it, but more so the judge's scores that were used in the calculations (most specifically the australian judge's score). still, he was in favor of 2 golds handed out.

man, the coach for that US female pole vaulter (silver medalist) is a total douche... one thing to say stuff like that in private, another to say it in front of a 100 million people...

not in prelims... many first placer's slow up near the end when there's a wide margin. it's pretty much accepted.

more 200 prelim's and Bolt is just hilarious. he's out so far ahead, the sight of him jogging towards the finish while the group behind him is sprinting for their lives to catch up... :D

well, first off i'd say all judging 'scorecards' should be shown to the public, so everybody knows exactly where deductions were made... or does that make too much sense?

oh the old guy? no i missed him, probably switched to CBC or something.

i don't watch alot of gymnastics, but i'll assume the "fallers" were performing much harder vaults that were rewarded accordingly. to be fair, the NBC announcers didn't feel very slighted with the scoring (and they're usually pretty vocal about that), though maybe that's because they were...

well in the relay finals, if Bolt's down by alot, we may see him run hard for the entire length. if he's winning, maybe not so much

so we're talking about Olympic officiating impartiality and you're admitting the LA boxing matches were a travesty?

don't know who that is. but in an interview, Bolt said it's better to break the record by a little than a lot, inferring he wants to break it again later, etc., thus extending the attention he'll get.

that's the way it's traditionally been done, it wasn't just started by NBC this year.

where else do you see a competition where the camera just focuses on the loser for SOOO long? i mean in awards shows, they might pause on the loser for a moment but then they'd go right to the winner. ditto for sports. but holy crap, here a girl falls flat on her @$$ and is holding back the...

WHEN DOES SHE COMPETE (and i thought Stephanie Rice was hot)

questions: 1) has there been any official reaction from the french relay team (interview, etc) on their loss? 2) is there a sensor at the end of the pool that swimmers touch to stop the clock?
