Rebecca Adlington, the swimmer from Great Britian smashed Janet Evan's world record in the 800 Meter Freestyle event - a record that's stood for nineteen years! I liked Janet; she for me is like the Mary Lou Retton of the pool - long after her place in the spotlight, I remember the personality and their smiles.
Phelps continues to set the pool on fire...not an easy task, since it's water afterall. He's just Spitzing distance from Mark's record number of golds. No news is good news on his caloric intake yesterday.
Dara Torres; what a Mom! They say she is so focused before a race, she gets in a zone all to herself. Yet during yesterday's semi-finals for the 50 meter freestyle, her Mom instincts took over when she stalled the race - asking the other swimmers to wait, and talking to the officials in order for another swimmer to change a ripped suit. Afterward she said 'we're all competitors in the pool, but out of the pool, we're all friends'. Pulling for the Friendly Mom in today's final.
I caught just a bit of Men's Beach Volleyball. I want to "drive" the remote controlled 'sand'boni.

No time tonight to catch up - I've got to say I've been staying up too late watching the last couple of nights, and I need to get to bed.
I'll just report on one thing....the Gold Medal performance for the Worst Case of Bad Sportsmanship of the games thus far.
The girls both slept at friends' last night, and after a pot-luck dinner party, Hubs and I went downtown for a drink at a restaurant/bar. A man walks up to the bar and says, pointing to the television screen above the bar, "I'm buying four drinks, and my friends and I want to watch the White Sox game while we're drinking them."
"I'm sorry, Sir", replies the bartender. "I don't think that's possible. I've had a lot of requests that the Olympics be turned on."
The man ordered his four drinks anyway, watched the bartender mix them, and when she set them on the bar, he bellows loud enough for the entire restaurant to hear, "These are on you this time - you can have your damn drinks. We're going to watch the White Sox in the bar across the street. Stupid hick town don't know what real sports are!" (there is no bar across the street, the Olympics are 'real' sports, and that's bad grammar. So pfft to him.)
After Hubs and I finished about a half hour later, we saw the man huffing down the sidewalk, with his four companions walking well behind him. I guess the White Sox struck out three times; once in each of the three bars in town.
And they wonder why the acronym FIP was created; this man was the prototype.
And in a bit of irony, while we were sitting at a stoplight, watching him angrily march on his quest to find a television set showing the White Sox game, the car in front of us took second place. And the Silver Medal for Bad Sportsmanship goes to the car with the bumper sticker: "It's Tourist Season....so why can't we just shoot them?"

Glad that bozo in the bar didn't spoil your fun, Gams. *rolling eyes* Jerk!
I am so, so disappointed that Dara Torres didn't take a gold. I was so bummed about it, you'd think I know her personally! But she did amazing things in these Games, and made a lot of 40+ people think that maybe their best years are NOT behind them. I'm proud of her accomplishments.
I got a laugh out of your Friendly Mom comments, Gams. That's just how she appeared. I enjoyed seeing her interacting and having a great time with all those swimmers who were decades younger, especially the 16-year-old, who seemed to be her favorite. Dara seemed to be savoring every moment of the Olympics.

She [ Torres ] seems like a great person as well as a fierce competitor, would have been barracking for her to bring the U.S team home in the relay except that she was chasing the Aussies, and when it comes to the Olympics my national pride comes first.
I'm with Siren about that"bozo" in the bar Lady P, hope the Sox got hammered.

I'm sorry, kat. In my disappointment over Dara's loss, I didn't congratulate you on your Awesome Aussies' win. Congrats! Our gals set a new U.S. record in the relay, and your gals STILL made it look pretty easy. They were amazing. And what strong, handsome, smiling women they were, too, gracious in their victory. They were terrific. So, have a "coldie" on me, in celebration. Cheers!

I'm not sure about the Sox, Katina, but I'd guess the guy was hammered. Just a bit too much to drink, I suppose, was the reason he was acting like such a bozo.
Congratulations all around - to the Americans, the Aussies, British, Zimbabwe's Kristy Coventry, and everyone else that made the swimming competitions so fun to watch; swimming is truly my favorite part of the Summer Olympics.
I'm with you, Siren - I was pulling for Dara, and am so proud of what she accomplished, that it's like I know her personally. It seemed she really did savor every moment. Both are reasons I enjoy watching the games - it's almost like you get to know these athletics, and celebrate their accomplishments, and feel bad about their disappointments right along with them.
Did anyone see the trampoline competition? I don't remember this being an Olympic sport in the past, but OMG - the heart-stopping heights the women were jumping. ACK! Cringing each time they landed on the trampoline, hoping they didn't land on the floor.
Speaking of heart-stopping moments - last night while my heart was busy nearly stopping each time Hubs attempted to recover and load files from the old computer into the new, we missed the Gold Medal round of Women's Beach Volleyball. Did the Walsh/May team get the gold, or silver?

Thanks Siren, yeah thank heavens for the gals, the Aussie guys failed to win a gold which is surprising given our past record; was really disappointed for Grant Hackett in the 15 hundred meters, would love to have seen him win his third successive Gold. Did you see the American girl Shawn Johnson win the Gold on the beam last night in the Gymnastics. Saw her the other night in the floor exercises where she was the first competitor and led until the final girl pipped her into second place, which gave her three Silvers, was really pleased to see her finally grab a Gold to go with her Silver. en.beijing2008.cn/news/sports/headlines/artisticgymnastics/n214563801.shtmlCongratulations all around - to the Americans, the Aussies, British, Zimbabwe's Kristy Coventry, and everyone else that made the swimming competitions so fun to watch; swimming is truly my favorite part of the Summer Olympics. Same here Lady P, love the swimming. Been some great moments from a variety of sports haven't there, the German heavyweight lifter whose wife died in a car crash just twelve months ago lifting ten kilos over his PB with the last lift of the competition to win gold, then seeing his reaction, was something I won't forget in a hurry.

Yes, indeed - that was a poignant story, kat. But he seems to remember his wife with happiness. A sweet face on that man. I was thrilled for Shawn Johnson! She'd been a good soldier, smiling through repeated disappointment, and giving her all. I was absolutely delighted when she finally won gold. I always pull for the short, scrappy ones! It was fun watching Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh, the beach volleyball legends, in their march toward another Olympic gold. They're such an interesting duo - Misty very focused, even during timeouts, while Kerri is upbeat, hyper, and effervescent. Opposites attract, I guess. And their celebration after winning the gold medal game was great tv: the 2 laughing, screaming, leaping, and dancing, and doing a victory lap to shake fans with fans, Kerri hugging everyone in sight. On the other hand, I was heartbroken for Lo Lo Jones, America's great hope in the hurdles. She's an 11-time All-American, former national champion. And yet, when her moment finally arrived, and she was easily pulling away from the pack in a thrilling show of speed and strength, 20 meters from a certain gold medal...she stumbled on the next to last hurdle, and the pack passed her by. She crumpled to the track after finishing the race, absolutely dumbfounded and heartbroken. It was horrible to watch. But she regained her composure, dealing well with the press, making no excuses and congratulating her teammate, who won the gold. I was impressed with her class and her maturity. Later, they showed her from a distance, all alone away from the crowd, sobbing against a wall. But as she said, she's young and still has another Olympics in her. I think she'll be back, poor thing. latimesblogs.latimes.com/olympics_blog/2008/08/no-medal-in-the.html

As the Olympics ended last night in a closing ceremony that had all the pageantry that the Opening Ceremony had, I enjoyed what I saw, but am kinda bummed I missed so much. I seem to remember way back when - before the Internet, Tivo, and all the cable stations that aired continuous coverage, that during prime-time they'd run down the highlights of the day.
Being in the dark ages technologically, and because I only watched during prime-time, we never saw any rowing, cycling, very little basketball, no equestrian events, soccer, and baseball or softball, and shoot I heard last night that those last two will not be Olympic events anymore. What's up with that?
But all and all, the 2008 games were fun to watch. Good thing it's only every four years though; now maybe I can get back to going to bed at a decent hour.

Let the Games begin!
Who cares if the fourth arm of the indoor torch didn't raise? It was spectacular none-the-less. I think the whales were my favorite part of the ceremony - very, very cool.
'Twas a beautiful opening ceremony, only marred by the tragic death of the Georgian luger earlier today. So sad.

we were watching it, too, and we thought it was slightly amusing that the torch bearers were all standing around looking lost while the thing malfunctioned, and the background music repeated 3 times. even with the malfunction, though, I agree, it was still cool! it is so sad what happened to that guy... you know everyone's gonna be rooting for his team, though. maybe that'll give them inspiration, and they'll win.

I think the torch bearers did a great job of not getting flustered looking during the malfunctioning torch; they stood calmly waiting...waiting...waiting. How nerve-wracking those couple of minutes must have been.
Doing not so great a job, I think, was the Olympic committee who investigated the luger's death. It was determined to be his fault for coming out of one turn too late, thus entering the fatal one late also. Not the fault of the track that lugers have said is just too fast.
The athletics have been calling the double curve "The 50-50"; they feel they've got a 50-50 chance of making it through without wrecking.
What is too fast? They'll reach speeds of 95 mph on the world's fastest luge track. After the Georgian's death, it was thought the men's competition might be switched to the slightly slower and shorter women's track, but even that has been called more dangerous than most luge tracks.
A luger for the Australian women's team said, "I think they are pushing it a little too much. To what extent are we just little lemmings that they just throw down a track and we’re crash-test dummies? I mean, this is our lives.”
Of the men's track, Frank Masley a 3-time Olympic luger for the U.S. said, "The track has pushed the limit too far. When you’re going 75, it’s plenty of speed. We felt like we were on the edge of our seats in Calgary (in 1988), and that was 72 mph. You’re barely keeping the sled straight there.”
Some could argue the sport is dangerous, and the athletes know what they're getting into, but I think the officials seem to be ignoring their responsibility to put the safety of the athletes over the spectacle that is the Olympics. After completing a quick fix to the track, raising the retaining wall in the curve where the Georgian flew out of it, the men's luge competition will start today as planned.
What else is on tap for today? Speed-skating - ooo, I like that; short track is my favorite, and one of my favorite personalities of the games, Apolo Anton Ohno, is competing. Men's Downhill and Women's Freestyle too.

Yesterday started off the the Women's Biathlon. This grueling event begins with competitors trying to jump hurdles and dodge obstacles thrown at them by an opposing team (their family), before they make it out the door to head to the track. They will then x-country ski, racing against the clock attempting to make up the time they lost during the first portion of the event. It wasn't my best performance yesterday; I didn't medal but I completed the race, giving it my all.
In Vancouver, the few minutes I caught of the Women's Biathlon appeared just as grueling. I admire the skill it takes to x-country ski in an all-out race, then have the poise and precision to target shoot, then ski again to the next target. But for me, it's just not that exciting to watch. It ranks right up there with Curling in my viewing pleasure.
I saw a bit of Men's Ski Jumping too. Soaring like eagles with skis as wings, it's amazing to me how they just seem to hang there. A week or so ago, I caught a blurb on T.V. that showed women ski jumpers climbing the steps to the top of the ramp. That ought to be an Olympic event in itself - and definitely one not for the weak of heart. I could never do it; with my fear of heights, I'd freak half-way up the steps and have to be taken down on a stretcher. Cool thing about the ski-jumping are the little pine trees "planted" down the center of the jump, along the take-off point, and in rows across the landing strip to give the skiers points of reference. Injuries are prevalent for the Ski Jump Trees; they risk live and limb....and more than a few branches to perform their job.
Freestyle skiing is one of my favorites to watch. Yesterday was the Women's Moguls. Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch - my knees were killing me, just watching the skiers. Dang, the abuse these athletics bodies must take. We caught the final round last night - a couple of U.S. and one Canadian wipeout. Big smiles and huge enthusiasm from young Shannon Bahrke from the U.S. after she skied an excellent run, ultimately giving her the Bronze. It looked like Jenn Heil from Canada, the defending Gold Medalist, was going to get Canada's first gold on home soil, but the U.S.A.'s Hannah Kearney with her itty-bitty pigtails bouncing all the way down the slope pulled it off, and won the Gold.
Speed-skating, yep Ellie, it's my favorite. Oh, those thighs! Those gorgeous, gorgeous thighs in those tight, tight, muscle showing off suits! Men's 5000 meters in the afternoon; it was an Olympic record and Gold medal for the Netherlands' Kramer. Good thing - he had so much pressure from his entire country riding on this event. Fun to watch his and his parents' excitement when he clinched it.
But the short-track - that's where the real excitement is for me! It's so nerve-wracking to watch; breathe, breathe, breathe - I tend to hold my breath during each heat. We missed the round you mentioned, and thankfully, I missed Celski's (sp?) near bleed-out replay scene, but saw the semi-finals and finals, with Celski and Apolo Anton Swooon Ohno. I think one of the things I like best about short-track, aside from the speed, is the mind game aspect of it. Wait for it...wait for it...then make your move at the most opportune time. The Korean skaters are masters at this and looked like they had it in the bag with Gold, Silver, and Bronze, until the last seconds when two of them wiped each other out. Nail-biting stuff.
Right before we faded out for the night, we caught a few rounds of the Women's Speed Skating Relay heats. I love the relays; it looks chaotic with all the skaters seeming to nonchalantly skate around the infield, until one of them comes out on the track and BAM! gets pushed by their teammate to complete a couple more laps. Finals are sometime later this week; from the little I saw, it looks like the American team, made up of mostly Olympic rookies, might have a shot at medaling.

Figure skating isn’t my favorite event – just a bit too glitzy and it seems to go on forevaaaaa…. I watched a few of the pairs skate, and that was enough last night. A few more tonight too, and then on to something else.
But I do admit it. I am an Olympics junkie. It’s really the only sporting event I watch with consistency, and doesn’t matter if it’s the Summer or Winter games. Actually, I think it’d be cool if there were Spring and Fall Olympics too. Spring is typically a muddy season. How about Mud Wrestling as an Olympic sport. And Mud Slinging too, where the competitors lob both globs of sludge and insults at their opponents. The Fall Games would have Pumpkin Carving followed by Smashing Pumpkins events, and the Combined Leaf Pile would have athletes first rake their own pile of leaves, and then perform a triple lutz twisting head dive into it. I’d watch.
Back to reality….the U.S. medaled for the first time ever in the Nordic Combined. I missed the ski jumping portion of it, but caught the cross country. Exciting stuff – the U.S. skier, Spillane, was out in front after overcoming a 10 minute deficit, only to be passed with just yards and seconds to go by a French skier.
Men’s Freestyle Moguls were yesterday too. Finally, Canada broke their losing-at-home streak as Alexander Bilodeau won Gold. Dale Biggs-Smith for Australia took silver, and Bryon Wilson from the United States won the bronze. Bilodeau dedicated his win to his brother who has cerebral palsy, stating his brother is his inspiration by keeping things in perspective - no matter how tough he has it, he never complains.
And almost sadly, the U.S. Women’s Hockey team beat China 12-1. Sadly, even if you’re a U.S fan? Afraid so, it seems. Though the win was expected, the near blow-out score could be a fatal blow to women’s hockey as an Olympic event. I saw highlights of the game – I could have been watching a replay of NHL Stanley Cup playoffs; these women can definitely play hockey. Only problem is, the sport is relatively new to world competition, and right now only Canada (who won Saturday in a blow-out against Slovakia) and the U.S. have powerhouse teams – and there is a wide gap between them and the level of play from other countries. Looking back to that famous U.S. Men’s Olympic win over the Russians though, anything can happen. I hope Women’s Hockey as an Olympic sport doesn’t go the same way as Women’s Softball for the same reasons.
Highlights for me tonight will be Snowboard Cross, and the fastest event in the games, the Men’s 500m short-track race.

the post looks fine to me phalon. gabs doesn't like figure skating much, either. with how many times these people have fallen tonight, i'm really not sure who's gonna win. i love figure skating because mom does. i don't like the glittery outfits either, but i normally love the music they use, and watching them jump and spin and actually nail the landings just makes me go "YEAH!" if one of these teams, just one of them, can avoid falling, they will get gold. with how much they're falling tonight, it makes me wonder if there's maybe something wrong with the ice.

I like the jumps and spins too, Ellie. I didn't watch any of the skaters, though - not much Olympic viewing last night at all really.
I saw that the Men's 500m speedskating event was postponed due to a problem with the ice, watched a bit of the Snowboard Cross, and saw a supposedly new and improved, kinder, gentler Bode Miller win the Bronze in the Men's Downhill. Apparently, according to the commentators, Miller has changed a lot in four years. All I remember about him during the last Winter Olympics is what a pompous @ss he was.
In Women's Hockey, I watched Canada smoke Switzerland (or was it Sweden?), with a 10-1 win. Random Thought - I wonder if the women figure skaters could skate as well as the hockey players if they were weighted down with all that equipment? At least we wouldn't have to see them pull wedgies from their rears.
The Women's Cross-Country 10K took place in the afternoon. That was exciting. Swede, Calla, took first place - Sweden's first individual gold medal since 1968. Ironic perhaps, that one of the favorites to win, a skier from Poland didn't even place - and it was she who complained all during practice that the course was too easy, claiming even a "tourist" could ace it.
Useless Olympic Fact: The Gold Medal in the Sweatiest Olympic Sport goes to the Biathlon. A 2002 study showed that athletes competing in the 20-kilometer race produce approximately five pounds of sweat during the event.
Another Random Thought - who studies these kinds of things? And why?

...was kinda halfway watching the curling, japan against us. lost interest in it because i don't know the rules and they didn't explain it. or, if they did, i missed it. my brother called me and we were talking, and he was all "ellie, no one knows the rules of curling, not even the people who play it." which made me laugh but i doubt is true. supposed to be more figure skating tonight, i heard. singles, which i think i like more than doubles. well... i suppose i would like a doubles team that was two women, but i highly doubt that will ever happen. if i could skate, i could do it, cuz i have upper body strength like you would not believe. heh. but that has nothing to do with anything.

Just watched Lindsey Jacobellis, the heavy favorite in snowboardcross, slide out of bounds and out of the competition. This was her chance to make up for the last Olympics, where her hotdogging cost her a gold medal. Though she's the winningest athlete in the history of her sport, and knowledgable ski fans know it, everyday fans will remember her, if at all, for one moment of "young and dumb", and for what she didn't accomplish.
On the other hand, victory must taste all the sweeter for Canada's Maelle Ricker, who came back from a crash, concussion, and disqualification in the last Olympics to win the gold in this one, and in her home country, to (ski) boot.

Ellie, you are so gay. Anywho. Men's speed skating. Fun to watch, except when they fall and cut themselves like that one guy did a few years ago. That was so not cool. Still, he did better than I could. Put me on ice when I'm not in my car, and odds are, someone will die. I couldn't skate to save my life. It must be really hard for them to hold their arm behind their backs like that. Looks slightly painful, even. And if they fell on it with it in that position, it would probably dislocate their shoulder.

Ah, poor Lindsey. Our whole family was rooting for her, and let out audible groans when she took down the gate. To have accomplished so much during her career, and to be remembered by most for only her failures in the Olympics must be heartbreaking. And unfortunately it happens to so many of these athletes. Jacobellis wasn't the only one who went down in snowboard cross, and then there are the others who when their big moment to shine comes, fall victim to the conditions of the mountain, a slip of the skate, or just a bad day. Sigh. The thrill of victory, will always be someone else's agony of defeat.
I watched countless skiers wipeout in the Women's Downhill this evening, but finally Lindsey Vauhn won her gold, and Julia Mancuso, her teammate got the gold.
In speed-skating, Shani Davis now has Olympics back-to-back golds in the 1000m after winning tonight in Vancouver. And short-track! Again I found myself holding my breath during the semi-finals of the men's relay. Sheesh - they skate so close together it's a wonder there's not a pile-up at every turn.
Yep, snowboarding is fun to watch. Shaun White is such a cutie with that big, white-toothed smile of his, and run-my-fingers-through curly hair.
Big disappointment of the games for me so far is that I've only seen one Medal Ceremony - the Women's Downhill. Watching the emotions of the athletes up on the podium as their national anthem is being played has always been a highlight of the games. Are they just not televising them, or are they shown on the late night broadcast when I (should be) in bed?

I so agree about the medal ceremonies, Gams. They're my favorite part. And I do think they're saving them for the end of the broadcast, unfortunately. I set the VCR so I could see Lindsey V. get hers. She was all an Olympian should be: proud, happy, and emotional. She got me all misty-eyed, just watching her try to hold it together.
Did you see when she saw her husband after her winning run? She was so relieved, she just wanted to hold him and sob on his shoulder. The poor man didn't seem to know what to do when his big, strong wife went to pieces. So, he did the best thing; he simply hung on, and petted her. It was very sweet to see (though I did feel like we were intruding on a private moment).

Shaun White was jumping so high he coulda launched himself into orbit! Heh. Well, maybe not. But it was so awesome to watch! My brother swears he could be Carrot Top's twin. *shakes head* They do kinda look alike, I suppose. A little. ...But that has nothing to do with anything. More snowboarding on tonight. The women! w00t.
