Running total hours recorded on my Tivo, starting with the Opening ceremony through midnight Wednesday--346 hours so far.
- Finishing out gymnastics
- The commentators noted that the Chinese in their training have their girls stand on tip toe on the Balance Beam for five minutes, and simulate the lighting at the actual event. Any reason the US can't do that, or are they too busy checking their make-up?
- The thrill of--paperwork? Aly Raisman got the bronze on Balance Beam after an inquiry was made. I love how the coach had to beg for a pen in order to fill out the form--for lack of a nail...
- Of course, Raisman made up for it with a gold in the Floor Exercise
- It's fun when an athlete doesn't follow the narrative NBC came up with before the games. Lolo Jones from the 100m hurdles was to follow a) athlete overcomes adversity, wins or b) athlete is gracious about losing. Instead, on the Today show, she chose c) athlete whines and cries about losing.
- It's QISE TO THE EXTREME with the BMX Cycling event--clearly trying to bring in a bit of the X-Games audience
More to come.
