i just watched the 200m final, that guy Bolt is crazy. i had read earlier this week the giant difference between Michael Johnson’s record and the next fastest time, something like 0.3 seconds. Bolt broke it WITH a headwind. that is insane! as bad as i feel for the two guys who got DQ’d, it did mean the guy from Clemson (Shawn Crawford) got silver. what up!

i will probably get up early tomorrow morning to watch the US in the semis of the water polo. i don’t have work tomorrow.

i’ve been watching the basketball games and keep thinking the US mens’ team could be better than the Dream Team. i know you can’t really ever prove it, but i think they really sent as many of the top 10 NBA players as they could have sent. the ’92 team had great players, but a few of them were on the downside of their careers. none of the players on the current team are slowing down, they are all speeding up, or are already at their peak. it’s been amazing to watch.

that Chinese chick who tried to fake an injury in the beach volleyball gold medal game was ridiculous. then again, if you know you’re going to lose, might as well string the glory of playing in front of your home fans a little more.

i miss watching the swimming.
