Usain Bolt lost twice to Yohan Blake at Olympic trials. I'm betting Bolt still wins easily in London.

It will be fun to say the least.

Apparently the 100m runoff for the final women's spot happened today, but I'm waiting to watch tonight.

Well it was scheduled for tonight and was to be shown live on NBC. But the woman who originally was declared in 3rd place has withdrawn from the runoff.

Oh, lame.

Poor Nastia. She has grown into a hottie as well.

Don't count out Gatlin. He was awesome in Eugene. The USA has a chance to get 30+ medals with a talented Track team.

The US Olympic Swimming team is training in Knoxville the next couple weeks.

Yeah, Gatlin has made an incredible turnaround after his suspension for doping. Glad to see he still has the natural talent to compete at a high level.

I've heard that there will not be any public access to the indoor practices, but it sounds like they will be using the outdoor pool at times, which is more accessible if anyone wants to check it out.

the Olympics stink. Swimming? Track and field? Yawn. That makes soccer interesting.

 

Would rather watch bears training camp broadcast on the tv

Team USA struggled with brazil. Where you at now Kobe. Scottie was right, dream team beats this years squad by 25

A rare thread which I think should be pinned.

USA USA!

 

Should be interesting to see the final medal count, hopefully the US can eek out a win over China.

I'd take that bet. Bolt is the underdog and it's even less likely he wins easily.

That turned in a hurry. Melo is on fire. Amazing the kind of player he can be when he's not the main option for an offense.

Great Britain-New Zealand women's soccer has kicked off and the Olympics are underway!

 

US kicks off against France in an hour.

France up 1-0 on the US. WTF?

 

EDIT: Make that 2-0 at 14' What the hell is going on?

2-0. The US continues to completely fail at defense. They blew the World Cup with awful defending and gave up 2 on the only 2 attacks France has had so far. Pretty laughable.

That's IT!!! I'm not watching this Olympics. It's fixed!

They got one back. Wambach header, what else. Gotta love women's soccer lol.

Wambach scores at 19' and it's now 2-1 France.

Morgan gets the equalizer at 32'.

 

On pace for 11 goals in the game.
