and rightfully so. Bolt is being obnoxious and very arrogant. That turns a lot of people off... You can be happy, but you don't have to be a show-off and come across as arrogant.

You're an idiot if you think they're not roided up on some new drug that's un-testable.

Honestly this whole doping/age thing is getting a bit annoying already. I mean I understand where the trouble lays, but I'm sure that a lot of people would have a better time watching if NBC showed more sports and matches rather than controversies. The IOC should work on a better system to test these athletics before the actual games and have everything ready and 100% checked.

Canada now has 17 medals total! This is just awesome stuff! If we go by total medals won for a standings chart, Canada is #13 I believe. For the summer Olympics, I am totally happy with that!

Peace,
Mike

Canada had a GREAT late run... It is amazing.... good job Canada!!

classless act by that british 4X400m relay runner.
taunting the runners behind him on a semifinal heat.
that's going to comeback and bite the british team in the final.

Just to note....the USSR would have been the biggest winner (in total medals) but NOT in Gold which further proves China's dominance over these games...INSANE!

Russia	17	18	23	58
Estonia	1	1	0	2
Latvia	1	0	1	2
Lithuania	0	2	3	5
Belarus	4	4	8	16
Ukraine	5	4	12	21
Moldova	0	0	1	1
Turmenistan	0	0	0	0
Armenia	0	0	6	6
Azerbaijan	1	2	4	7
Georgia	3	0	3	6
Uzbekistan	1	2	3	6
Tajikistan	0	1	1	2
Kazakhstan	1	4	6	11
Kyrgyzstan	0	1	1	2
USSR	34	39	72	145

I suspect the USSR would not have allowed the Chinese to get even one gold in gymnastics

So we missed our chance at another gold. Kinda irritating, actually.

Of course. Russia soon may be able to regain its dominance in gymnastics, though who knows.... Having the Winter Olympics in Sochi might help Russia get a bit more organized.

Ok, we prolly have one final medal, and very likely gold in high jump. Blanka Vlašić.

I'm such a jinxer. Silver ain't really that bad either.

GB finished fourth in the finals.

Gold - USA
Silver - Bahamas
Bronze - Russia

and the Women 4X400m relay gold also went to the USA.

Gold - USA
Silver - Russia
Bronze - Jamaica

That's a heartbreaking silver for the final diving event, but congrats to Matthew. He still needed to earn over 105 points in his final dive and absolutely nailed it.

Look like the 50th gold has to come from boxing.

I'm not a TWK expert, but this is a point right? Honestly the sport confuses me, it's seems like a lot of hopping and yelling and kicking at the arms. Though I have heard that the judging in this competition is a little suspect.

Yeah, it would have been pretty nice to see China get the 8th gold, but that dive was perfect.

well done to Matthew. excellent final dive.

Usain Bolt Celebrates Early ... Very Early

"look at that guy enjoying that face full of celebration right there..." hahaha

Did anyone watch the Rhythmic Gymnastics All-Round Women's competition?

A weird sport, but the winner was FANTASTIC. wow.

Rhythmic is the one with the ribbons, hoops, balls, and other fun things, right?

yup!

I'm surprised he isn't arrested for that.

As the Olympics come to a close, one can only hope the outbreak of Olympic Fever will be contained.

Awww, Matthew Mitchum is so cute. I love him
