I wish the royal mint made replica gold medals as souvenirs they'd do well

No. Best 8 on vault from qualification go through. The qualification round decides team start order, who qualifies for all-around, who qualifies for the individual events.
The way it works this year is that you can only have 4 (out of 5) members of your team to perform on each apparatus. I don't know why they do this, it sucks.
So if you let your best all around members to perform on all apparatus during qualification, even though he or she might be the worst on that apparatus on your team, you hurt your chance of getting into the individual events. That's one of the reasons why China didn't have anyone playing on the men's all-around, they put emphasis on the individual events. The US opted to win the all-around events, which they are stronger, and so they will have less entries on the individual events.
Not good enough MIMIC, stop being such a huge salty Federer fan!

The wink is sarcasm, right?
because lord knows I hate Federer
These guys are professional athletes, training every day. Based on that you'd wrap yourself in cotton wool and never leave the house except for a grand slam.

His kit is absolutely demolished
Part of a final I believe, we are talking about the Omnium right?
I think its the penultimate event, not sure though.
He and Djokovic are currently the only top 4 players still in it.
He started it.

do you actually watch tennis? for him this is probably his favorite win in his career but seeing how he cried his heart out (something i admire) after losing the AO and Wimby you must be mad if you think a GS isn't more important to him and it is much more important in a career of a tennis player.
i will end this discussion now, the guys in this topic that i know watch tennis regularly all agree with me.
i will jump for joy if he wins the USO against anybody except federer.

With far better commentators than these. =/
Depends on the race. Sometimes the main group don't need to catch the break away. There's a breakaway on nearly every stage of the tour de France and they pretty much always get caught.
He's doing a Cavendish - just letting everyone else get in front and then not catching up. I'm sure he's doing everything he can at this point, but it just looks like he's not even trying - it's infuriating.
But never when I'm rooting for someone! D:

Do you agree that Fed would trade his 7th Wimbledon for an Olympic gold?
I do
he wouldn't trade his 1000th wimbledon against a gold.
He's in a fine position and could very well win the final race.

I bet the Omnium was introduced for this exact reason.
