and i'm not sure why the tiebreaker for 3rd was throwing out the low score. why is screwing up worse a good thing? although if aly doesn't screw up the beam then that doesn't matter. about halfway through her beam routine i was thinking how much i liked watching her because she wasn't flashy but always seemed really steady. and then about 5 seconds later she almost fell to the floor.

good to see phelps get the individual medal.

In fact, coaches wont let you out of the pool to use the restroom during practice unless it's to take a dump. They tell you to pee in the pool (and when I coached, I did the same thing to my swimmers). We'd also play a 'game' (girls included) called "pee face". After you finish a set, you'd pee, then when someone else finishes, you'd splash up the water that you peed in and yell 'pee face'. If you were an upper classmen on a relay with lower classmen and you were leading off, some people (I never did this) would initiate the other swimmers by peeing on the blocks so everyone had to stand in it. One girl was notorious for doing this, and she was insanely hot, not what you'd expect from a hot chick. Good times.

How would you know that the girl pissed in the pool?

I just somehow found this thread (and forum for that matter)

while watching the rebroadcast on the West Coast, I just heard a Romanian doing her floor routine to a really cool arrangement of 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' in the individual all around...

she should have been given bonus points for that alone...

there have been some other cool British songs that have been featured as well.

Wasn't in the pool, it was on the starting block... and because she told everyone.

Have to love Aly Raisman's music choice, too.

no, but funny story. Same girl was sitting on a friends lap during a meet, he had a white towel wrapped around his waste (I'm sure you can see where this is going). She gets up, red spot right where she was sitting.

You couldn't even bring a proper argument against me on this one, just one dumb word with no meaning in this context.

If you think majority of athletes are clean you should stop reading fairy tales and believing milk+hard work only make you the best athlete in the world.

Now please stop replying to my posts and get on with your life.

[Yung-T]

PS You on my ignore list now, so don't even bother typing.

You expect him to prove something that you have shown no proof of whatsoever? Then you get the last word in and put him on ignore...pretty weak bro.

Talk about the biggest PMS in probably the history of clutchfans.

You managed to use that one post that consisted of one word, and come up with probably the most irrelevant rant ever in the history of forum posting. Not only did you manage to come up with a strawman argument regarding a point I never made, but you somehow managed to convince yourself that I've been following you around.

First of all, if you don't want your posts to be replied to, then go write a blog or something. Second of all, this is the only post I made in this entire thread, I have no idea how you even came up with the idea that I've been constantly replying you.

Thirdly, as already mentioned, you don't seem to understand how arguments work (going by this thread you don't seem to know how anything works). If you are asserting a premise or proposing an argument, it is not on others to come up with proof against it but instead on you to come up with proof to support it. Have you heard of "proving a negative"? Probably never. Can you prove to me right now that there isn't a giant invisible floating penis above your head that is constantly ejaculating intangible sperm on you?

Quoting this so maybe he'll respond to his outlandish accusations.

Del Po vs. Federer is a great match going on now. No tiebreaker for the final set. Fed got his first break against Del Po, was gonna serve for the match, but then Del Po broke back against Fed. Now back on serve and 14-14.

[Duncan McDonuts]

Dang, Fed goes up Love-40 on Del-Po's serve to earn 3 break points. Del Po wins 5 straight points with strong serves to hold the game. Clutch play.
