    looking at the meal rankings, weird how the USA has the top 4 individual medal winners, whereas China only has one person in the top 15 of medals won. Yet China has more golds, silvers, and total medals than the usa

    China is strong collectively, while USA depends on a few good individuals

    Man I hope Allyson Felix wins (not happening). No one else finds it hilarious that she looks like she has no muscle, but dominates in the 200 and can hang in the 100?

    If Jeter wins that would be phenomenal, but I think the Jamaican girl that just got her braces off is going to win. Jamaica's chief exports are the steel drum, red stripe... and sprinters.

    wow, Nathan Adrian was tied with the Japanese player in the final leg and he just beasted on the 2nd place Japanese. He won that relay almost by himself

    Rupp 2nd in 10km, crazy for a white long distance runner. Farah wins and Rupp with silver, no medal for Kenya, wow.

    Farah looked like he was running from a lion chasing him.

    Then when Rupp and Farah rest next to each other, Rupp hocks a loogie on the track. Farah falls on the floor, and nearly rolls into the loogie. So close. :(

    Loved watching a Brit and an American schooling the Kenyans and Ethiopians.

    That's what I always think, we normal people could run one 400m lap in 60sec, they do it after 9.6km like it's nothing. I'd probably puke my guts out after three laps of 60sec.

    They'll definitely win gold in the relay though.

    The British and Koreans are in a PK shootout. We all know the history for Great Britain, mainly England, for their failures of penalty kicks.
