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

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

From Brazil.

 

I think one of the announcers said they still have Brazilian passports

 

The Georgian men are Jorge and Renato.

 

Jesus, are Dalhausser and Rogers putting on a clinic. That lefthanded dig Carville made with his back to the net that turned into a point is play of the tournament right now. Looking forward to that final with the real Brazilians - I've at least seen Emmanuel play when he did a stint in the AVP a few years ago with Jose Loiola.
Did Misty get that wig from the estate of Rollen Stewart?
Think young Cejudo's gold medal is going up Lou Dobbs' ass a mile? We can always take the gold off the U.S. total and give it to Mexico, Lou.
Young Miss Johnson just lost her invite to the White House. Don't think Mr. and Mrs. Cheney appreciated those earrings, Shawn.

Oh, dual citizenship. Even better.

 

Whatever else you want to say about the U.S. men's basketball team, they have certainly established a spirit of team unity:

Holy shit, that was a big pile of puke on the track after the women's hurdles final.

I feel terrible for Lolo. She had a gold wrapped up until she hit that hurdle. Damn.

 

And she showed nothing but class in the loss, she even hugged the Aussie chick as she walked by during her interview. You can't help but pull for someone like that.

Oh man, that was a heartbreaking shot of Jones. Alone under the stands, bawling her eyes out. :'(

But what class, to give that kind of an interview right afterward. Heartbreaking slip-up.

EDIT: Yeah, PG, just saw that. We're a little delayed out here on the Left Coast. And by a little, I mean three fucking hours.

 

Is anyone else watching the BMX races on late night? This is crazy with some incredible crashes... there is even and Australian who has had his name legally changed to Kamikaze!

 

LoLo Jones and the Williams girl (sprinter) by far the two most beautiful U.S. women in the Olympics. Holy jeebus, they won the cheekbone lottery. LoLo (sp?) is stunning.

 

Agreed on Lolo. Stunning is the word that fits best.

As far as the No. 1 most beautiful U.S. Olympian ... anybody know what time and channel I should set on my DVR to watch Hope Solo and the USWNT in the gold-medal match tomorrow?
