    I have a gigantic girl crush on the Russian pole vaulter.

    If anyone's interested, the other women's beach volleyball semifinal between the two Chinese duos is on USA right now, at least it is here.

    They split the first two sets 24-22, 27-29. It's been great so far.

    Tian and Wang have used the momentum of that to get close to victory now in the third.

    Let them play all day. May and Walsh will be well rested.

    I asked Isinbaeva about Stuczynski in the mixed zone.

    She said, "It just shows you that people who talk too much win nothing."

    Awesome answer.

    Heck of a water polo match between U.S. and Aussies.

    Brenda Villa is my new favorite women's athlete.

    Is that on anywhere, or online only?

    OK, I found it. Just in time to find out the U.S. won, and see the Netherlands vs. Hungary in the second semi.
