i think there should be a spoiler alert policy if you're gonna post about stuff that hasn't been shown on t.v. yet. not directed at you specifically, just in general.

i don't know but the IOC is usually tighter than a nun's vagina when it comes to videos and live streams or any copyright material. if you do find one it will probably be taken down in a matter of hours.

You say "lost the gold" as if the US is automatically guaranteed to win every event.

Well the 3 guys who swam ahead of him gave him a big lead and apparently he is the best swimmer in the world so yes i would say he lost the gold

he was referring to a race today that hasn't been shown on t.v. in america yet. and he could have easily seen it on the internet or something, if not live t.v.

and no worries brettski, not your fault for not knowing it wasn't on t.v. in america. we suck at stuff like that.

yeah, sadly. brazil v. spain would have been a great final. with the team brazil has, not winning can't be considered anything more than an utter and complete failure, especially now that spain is out of the way

You realize u can just webcast it on nbcolympics.com as long as u have a cable tv or satelite tv subscription... The broadcasts are live, for example, the swimming finals tomorrow will start at 2:30 P.M. and the prelims will begin at 4:55 A.M.

He is not at all the best swimmer in the world in the 100 Free. He was the last slot on that relay, not sure why he anchored. Angel on the other hand is one of the best 100 free swimmers in the world, and he would have laid a body length down on Phelps as well.
