Phew! Glad I made it here!
Those morons on the Other Shows thread just couldn't care less about Stephanie Pohl's sweet ass. I know you guys do- right-thinking Americans that you are. |

Whoa, I wake up and Canada went from 4 medals to 7 medals. The men's rowing eight came through with a gold beating out the Brits. The men's rowing
lightweight four just snuck in to grab bronze, as did the women's lightweight double sculls. 2 golds, 1 silver, 4 bronze! Canada's in 16th place in the
gold medal standings!

Team GB are 3rd in the medal table. How the fuck did that happen?
I see us slipping. We've had all our good events. Not bad though for a country thats smaller than Florida considering China and the US are in 1st and 2nd. yay! |

We have seven medals now? Whoa, I hope they accounted for that extra unexpected weight on the plane home

You don't have enough money for a plane! Cochrane is gonna drag all your athletes in a dingy across the Pacific.

Meh, I find it hard arguing about the Greatest Ever. I find people like Kerry Strug to be the greatest ever - nails a landing on a sprained foot to help the US
win the team championship. That to me is a great olympian.
I would agree though, pretty tough not to rank Phelps up there, although personally the Dara Torres story has been much more amazing to me during this Olympics than Phelps-palooza. Competing at 41 and being in 5 olympics -and still being extremely competitive at 41, when the rest of the field is 20? Now thats hella cool |

Canada's Blythe Hartley finishes in 4th place in women's 3m springboard diving! She just misses out on the bronze by a mere 15.25 points.
Congratulations!

When you're celebrating 4th, you know you've hit an all time low.

I think with GB's cycling program, they'll cop at least a few medals in 2012 - and that's where a lot of their current medals are coming from as
they have 10 medals in that alone
