What's wrong with Missy?
Should we publicly label Lochte as Lolchte too?
Also if NBC was not filming the 200m swim, they wont be able to show it at primetime
I saw an interview with Peter Wilson (won Gold for GB in the double trap shooting) and he casually mentioned how his friend Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum funded his training. How many of these (usually British) athletes became as good as they are because they're from privileged backgrounds?
Half of the GB 2008 athletes went to private school.
Edit: Medal winners actually.

Quite common in the US. A lot of younger people prefer to not have classic/prim and proper sounding names.
Weird, I find Melissa infinitely more appealing.
An interesting fact about this upcoming event:
László Cseh, Thiago Pereira, Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps were all finalists for the 200m Individual Medley in Athens, in Beijing, and now in London. They are the first group of four athletes ever to accomplish such a feat in Swimming - that is, being finalists together in three consecutive Olympics.

Canada's Badminton women team wins set 2 against Japan, 1-1.
This would be a HUGE upset, considering Canada is only in the quarterfinals due to the earlier DQs.

Why are the fencing girls so into it when they get a hit?
They're on all the best amphetamines. PPPUUUUUMMMMMPPPPEEEEDDDD.
Niceeee, hopefully we can get 4th (Beijing) or 3rd.
No chance.

The actual story is his UK funding got cut and Al Maktoum (A gold winner of that very event in Athens) was starting his coaching set up and decided to back him.
Its not like he is sleeping with the dude.
His muscles are probably really tight right now.why would someone warm up in the diving pool if they have multiple races in the day ? how does it help your muscles ?

It's important to warm up and warm down when doing basically any exercise. It helps ease the process for your muscles and ensures less injuries/max performance. If you just stop after intense exercise it's generally not great for your muscles.

Can't believe they won a set !

Warming up and warming down is important to avoid muscle cramps. The warm up pool is apparently a 7 min walk from the main pool, so if a swimmer has two races close together they have let them use the diving pool to warm down/up.
Wait NBC.com is skipping swimming events? wtf?
It says Men's 200 IM starts at 3:16 EST so I'm thinking the feed will start in a few.

Bad teeth.Wonder what sort of Racism the Spanish basketball team can inflict on the hosts this year.

Can't say that at all, our comitte says we're where they thought we would be. All depends on how Russia and Germany do.

Seriously? Wow. That means I'm basically SOL since I have NBC at work and BBC at home.
Woe is me.
I like the Japanese girl's look more. As I've mentioned a few times Soni is taken (Ricky Berens).That Russian swimmer with the bronze is so pretty.
So what even did I miss? This is bullshit.
You didn't miss anything. Like I said, its starting now.

Where are my fellow volleyball enthusiasts ?
Right here, but men's beach volleyball doesn't start for another 40 minutes, does it?
At least according to NBC...

I don't know, but it seems like the NBC thing to do. People angry about you not broadcasting live? Take their stream away when they want it most.
