    Man TKD has really dropped a level since the last olympics. You have too many non-aggressors that all they do is fake fake fake and try to counter but when you have two of them that fight like that it's horrendous. They are even allowing the light taps not to count this year so that should allow them to attempt more offensive attacks but none of the fighters i've watched so far have gotten the memo.

    TKD has been disappointing thus far.

    Nastia may have won the all around gold, but its splitting hairs with her and Shawn as to who was better in the olympics, both really good.

    I think it was all those steps on her landings that cost her

    i think that race just gave me more respect for michael johnson. usain is like the biggest freak sprinter ever and just ran as fast as possible and, 12 years later, still only beat the record by .02.

    lol usain bolt is so cocky but man hes so fast
    and to think he only beat the WR by .02 says a lot about how good johnson was
    i think martina is going to get disqualified
