Been watching a lot of the Judo this afternoon.

Although I don't understand everything to do with it, it is by far the most entertaining after the "official" opening last night.

hahaha I bet these people go back to their new england homes, pick out the finest cigar, have their butler poor them a nice glass of 50 year old scotch and engage in a nice good ol' fart sniffing session and inflate their assholes with their own ego.

They should just hand phelps and locthe the medals already. We already know they are going to go full rape-tron mode. Oh and the basketball team as well.

Team Archery, Italy VS. USA

The last Italian has to shoot a 10 (bulls-eye) for Italy tow in.

Massive pressure and still he does it.

My ass cheeks were clenched together so hard.

Phelps is old, lol. I wouldn't be suprised if he only wins a couple of golds if that. still the best all time. But we won't see a repeat of Bejing or even Athens

What? Why not?

The IRA fought for Ireland's independence. They were inspired by the American revolution. Yes the IRA killed innocent people, but lets not be hypocrites now.

My great grandfather fought in the Irish War for independence and that is something I am grateful for.

most impressed with the blind archer who won gold and broke his previous world record. 10% vision in left eye and 20% vision in right eye. he says he just shoots for the yellow blur at the centre of the target. what a boss.

Got back from work and my mom said Phelps blew it. Didn't even medal? That's rough.. I feel bad for the American dude that got 4th in cycling too. Could tell he wanted that medal so badly.

Just a really close finish... Then the interview after he said tearing up "I just really wanted that medal.". It was pretty rough to watch. Plus he had some other short comings in the Tour de France, so the Olympics was where he wanted some redemption.

He didn't seem pissed at all. Just stunned/frustrated. I guess the last time he didn't medal was in Sydney 12 years ago.

he's getting a little older too and had only been training for about a year. He seems like a chill dude that's just kind of over swimming-- I don't blame him one bit. Regardless of how he does in this olympics, Lochte will never match up to what he's done. Plus Lochte seems like the Dumont of swimming
