this was sweet......after they won the gold, during the interview, kerri grabbed the microphone and said thx to the Prez for supporting them....</P>
how many athletes, from how many countries, can do THAT??!!...like you are giving a shout out to your long lost brother???!!!</P>
When the "Today" went on a tour of the Olympic village, where the athletes stay....one of the athletes showed this blue Tiffany box, with a silver round thing with an engraved lid, that George and Laura Bush had sent to each of the athletes....it was pretty cool....</P>

I think Leryn finished second to last.....</P>
Good news, US womens soccer team won gold... bad news US womens softball team ..... sad</P>
BEIJING (AP) - The U.S. Olympic softball team was denied a fourth straight gold medal, losing 3-1 on Thursday to Japan in the sport's final appearance in the games for at least eight years. </P>
The Americans' 22-game Olympic winning streak was snapped as Japan pitcher Yukiko Ueno handed them their first loss since Sept. 21, 2000, at Sydney. </P>
Ueno pitched seven innings, one day after she pitched 21 to get the Japanese into the gold-medal game. </P>
The International Olympic Committee voted softball off the 2012 program in London and the sport is hoping to be reinstated next year in time for the 2016 Games. </P>
Australia won the bronze after it was beaten by Japan on Wednesday. </P>

THAT IS GOOD NEWS!!!!!! The Japanese won!!! Now maybe the IOC won't be so STUPID. and take women's softball out of the Olympics. One of the problems was that there was no competition, and USA always wiped up, I thought???!!!</P>
Some of these other sports they have on are SO tedious and boring.....what is the deal with this stupid thing of the ladies walking around in gymnastics outfits, with some dumb rope in their hand??? I don't get it.......even throwing a shot put makes more sense than that.....</P>

Oh wow, I didn't even realize.....
There was a time I had that number at 300....I spent one day for 12 hours on here typing away..
It was insane....
I just saw the interview with Walsh and May talking about starting a family....I really liked what they have done or the sport. They absolutely dominate it....
I thought China might have won last night, they were really giving them a hard time....

It's rumored that it's a backlash against western sports. The excuse is silly and I just don't get it.
I was watching this weird gymanstics today with a hoola hoop....BORING....
And the commentators sound like Golf commentators..."incredible....oh that was gorgeous..."
Just BORING....

now 4 of the horses have tested positive for illegal substances, in the riding competition. 3 of the horses had a substance that makes their skin more sensitive, so they will not touch those rales that they have to jump over......</P>
I just don't know how the world of athletics will survive......this event is so exciting....[|-)][|-)][|-)]</P>
