I have been watching Michael Phelps who just received his 9th gold medal.
"BEIJING (AP)--Michael Phelps won his third gold medal and record-tying ninth of his career Tuesday, breaking his own world record in the 200-meter freestyle at the Beijing Olympics.
The American finished in 1 minute, 42.96 seconds, lowering his old mark of 1:43.86 set at last year's world championships in Australia.
He cruised to the wall nearly 2 seconds ahead of silver medalist Park Tae-hwan of South Korea, who finished in 1:44.85. Peter Vanderkaay of the United States earned the bronze in 1:45.14.
Phelps' ninth gold medal tied him with four others, including Mark Spitz and track star Carl Lewis, for most career golds.
He is 3-for-3 in his attempt to break Spitz's 36-year-old record of seven golds in a single games. "
ive been glued to the tv since theyve been on. i like it all. im a sports nut in general the only thing i cant really watch is cycling. eh.. not to exciting. i have a timer set on my dvr so i can watch it when im not home or sleep.. whatever, im totally eaten up with it.
Seriously though, I watch some events but can't say I watch it like I do for baseball or football. I'm glad to see Phelps succeeding so far. I watch it for the patriotism if nothing else
anyone watch the BB ball game this morning? USA played like sh1t but still won. if they would fo converted more on 'fast break" points they would of won by 15 easy.
i watch it usually for an hour in the mornings whatever it is. its just cool to see people playing and relize wow these are some of the best in the world
I actually love the fact that they showcase some of the less popular sports. Things like volleyball and badminton just as examples, are sports in which the athletes don't get nearly enough credit for what they do. The track & field stuff is interesting as well.
But while I want to respect and admire all these olympic athletes, I must admit the power walking thing strikes me as downright silly. Sorry.
