I'm watching this double amputee run the 400 in this Olympics. I don't get it. Can I run the 800 on a bike?

15 years ago he wouldn't have been able to qualify with the current technology.

It creates a situation where in 4 years newer technology might put him in contention to medal. This isn't like a body suit available to all swimmers that shaves 1.2 seconds off their time.

Yeah, I don't think it's right, but the PC thing is to not say anything and allow it.

Speaking of the Olympics, Murray is making The Fed take the Bitch Seat.

He didn't just win, he annihilated Fed.

But, yeah, I was pulling for Murray, and not just because he is a Scot....okay, that is the main reason. Not only that, but everyone hates the Swiss.

US and Canada ladies soccer tied at 3-3 going into first 15 minute OT. Been a fun match so far.

That teen from Colorado who won those swimming golds (Missy Alexander, I think is her name) is my favorite Olympic athlete this year...by a mile.

Missy Franklin. Amazing that someone from rural, middle-o- nowhere Colorado can make it all the way to being multiple Olympic champion...

Heh.

Nah, her attitude is awesome and she seems so genuine. It was refreshing. The Olympic gymnast who ass-planted on the vault last night (McKayla Maroney, or something like that) strikes me as the opposite. She seemed a bit arrogant and fake. I wasn't crushed that she blew it. I wanted her to win, but I was dialing back my enthusiasm because she seemed like someone I would not enjoy being around.
