    Yea but I expect the US to pull away once the track and field events start. China defiantly has a shot to win in the gold count tho.

    Commentators touched on my biggest beef....the scoring between the different apparatus is way too different....a major mistake on one can result in a much higher score than a decent performance on another.

    everyone can do the easy ones. then you can't really tell who is better, since all of them are going to be nice and smooth. the harder ones separates the field. you have to reward those who try hard stuff.

    OMG! Zhang Juan Juan won the Women's Individual Archery Gold. She defeated all three of the Koreans during her way to the victory. After 24 years, there's finally a person breaks the long domination of this sport by the Korea Women.

    I will equate her success to Liu Xiang's gold medal in Athens.
