Maybe...? (but it's also possible that this is bottled Olympian sweat)Do they drink this?
That's good water but I prefer mine in a can

Well they took us to the cleaners in the final. Makes me glad I was already asleep - or at least in bed. (Started at 11.30pm our time.)
Then again I didn't see us beating South Africa in the semi, so SILVER linings and all that.
Gold in the velodrome too, and a world record for the women's team pursuit...team...over 4 km. They looked much more composed and matched for pace than the current world champs, too (though the real icing on the cake was slaughtering the Aussie time by 5.7 secs, crash or no crash
). Lovely, lovely, let's hope for more to come.
Wasn't the men's team sprint a close thing?! Congratulations on the gold!Well they took us to the cleaners in the final. Makes me glad I was already asleep - or at least in bed. (Started at 11.30pm our time.)

I didn't see/hear any news about the women's team pursuit, 5.7 sec? I bet Aussie were gutted...
Something pretty cool from last night's Michael Phelps gold medal race
Phelps is from Baltimore and last night the Baltimore Ravens were playing a preseason football game. When it was time for Phelps' race, the Ravens stopped the game and put the race on the big screens in the stadium.

Thats whats so amazing about sjostrom. She is one of the best anyway. Talent in droves. She won her first big international seniortitle at the age of 14, her first worldchampionship at 15. Since then she has lots of titles. She is 22 now. She, according to her, failed at the 2012 olympics (she came in fourth). But to make it in the relays you need 4 topswimmers, not one.
Yes!!! Sweden beat the US after penalties in the soccer QF. The reigning champions are out, Sweden is marching on!! Never thought we would beat USA.
I saw the trampoline event today. I did not know this was an event. Pretty amazing.
Did she tie for the record? I knew she tied for the gold...
Yup, they now share the Olympic Record.
It was a bit confusing because Simone was marked OR and Penny was marked 1. In Canada everything is bilingual, so to me OR meant gold. But then, why would it say Penny was first. I'm not sure why the board was a bit confused, but it was clarified quickly.
Yay Mahe Drysdale....! Yay, yay, yaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!! You lil ripper!

Hmmm...
Some say "Ma he", others say "Ma hey". I've never actually heard him say his own name, so I'm not sure.
