Beautiful gold, so-so silver and shameful bronze: The running Olympics thread

In USA-China baseball, Nate Schierholtz, attempting to score on a sac fly, leaves the base path to run into the China catcher, who did not have the ball and was standing in front of the plate.

Stay classy, guys.

He wins the gold and I will buy you a 12-pack of Pyramid.

Gay hurting; Trammell hurting; 1,500 guys just ran bad; shot putters choked big time; appalling that there are no decent long, triple or high jumpers in this country.

 

The U.S. did sweep the 400 though. U-S-A! U-S-A!

 

400 hurdles, you mean.
The 400 meters sweep is yet to come.
