    Speed climbing is fun to watch. The parity isnt really there yet cause there is top tier and girls that shouldn't even be there. I don't really like how they have their competition set up with the matches, but it adds an intensity that makes sense.

    There was some rule that you couldn't ride the bus from the Olympic Village to the stadium if you weren't staying in the village so when she got to the stadium she had to enter a different way and there was no time for her to warm up once she got in the stadium.

    Yeah, he could’ve competed for us, but he switched for the chicks!

    check out his Swedish gf, Desire Inglander … that’s a legit stripper name for dancing in England

    I wish NBC didn’t have a monopoly on an Olympic coverage here in the US.

    I’m getting a headache from rolling my eyes so much at the jingoism and inanity of much of their coverage.

    You could always figure out a way to stream foreign coverage. I hear the one with the boxes is fun.

    I'm gonna assume pretty much any broadcast is biased and skewed towards the athletes that come from the country where it is being broadcast....I read Irish newspapers, and I can assure you the coverage of the Olympics is pretty slanted toward Ireland :)

    That’s an interesting factoid.

    I bet the Iranian Olympics coverage hates the US, so @rocketsjudoka could get some relief there. And boxes.

    For some reason, the Americans love a British host for american coverage. And I gotta say, I'm one of 'em. It just seems more interesting. Today we got a lesson in Olympic snogging.

    Yes. China leads by 1 in Golds, but that will change by the end of the week.
