^ Definitely (on your last point). I was rooting for her.also I do think the only 2 people from each country rule is a bit blah. The top 24 should go, even if that means 10 of them are from Romania.

Somewhat shocked with that upset in the 400 free relay by the French. Especially given all the hype this year with Phelps and Lochte. But then again, they did to our team what our team did to them in Beijing in the same event, so I guess they got their revenge in the end.
I was disappointed, but man, what a great race.
What really disappointed me today was Jordyn Wieber's elimination from the all-around gymnastics competition. I Thought they scored her kind of low on the floor routines, not that I'm familiar with the scoring system or anything, just going on how it looked to me.

Also, I wish NBC cut all of the opening ceremony sans the opening 20-25 mins, the torch lighting, and parade of nations.

Yeah Lochte kinda disappointed there. Oh well. For some reason I'm not a huge fan of him.

Paula Radcliffe looks dodgy for final, which will be sad. THe Daily Mail decided it was their job to tell us before she had made a decision. To top the dodgy racist stuff they have been saying about the opening ceremony - quality journalism.

I never call them Team GB, never will. What did the mail say?
No its GB or Great Britain . The Mail had some crap on the website critisising the opening ceremony in a similar way to Aidan Burley MP saying you would find it difficult to find a couple like the one portrayed in the house living happily together ie white and black living together good oncome etc II believe they then got rid of it after the Twitter Storm (Yes I follow Twitter).
