Gymnastics:
In my many years admiring the craziness that is gymnastics, I have never seen so many people fall. Seriously? The one chick fell on the floor exercise? Isn't she already on the floor? Three of the top men's all around fell on the pommel horse. Three of the American girls fell out of the line on the floor exercise. Crazy talk. They're supposed to make this look easy.
I guess I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that their routines are probably more difficult that my untrained eye could ever gage. As a dancer, I am annoyed by the stiffness in the American's floor routines and Nastia's left foot that is so pointed that it sickles.
And then there's this whole "controversy" with a couple of girls from the Chinese team being too young. My thoughts on this are similar to snowboarders who compete while high. Who the fuck cares? If anything, it's at their disadvantage and they should get extra points for it. That and if they're actually under 16, I can find it in my heart to forgive them for the pink and blue eyeshadow.
Greco-Roman Wrestling:
First of all, I didn't know the dude on the bottom could just kind of lie on the ground and try to not be picked up. And then there's that idiot who threw his medal on the floor. Really? Are you a child? Even the 13 year old Chinese girls behave better than you.
And then there's my husband:
It's like he doesn't even care about the gold and can actually see that world record green line that is hopelessly chasing him in each race. Oh yeah, and he's totally hot. I'll accept the butt face remarks if you're looking at the interviews with him and that awful facial hair.

Ha Ha I agree, I'm glad the Olympics are on every 4 years, it takes me another 4 years to catch up on all the sleep I lose, and with the ability to watch non dominated american events on the internet I get even less sleep. I agree that wrestler should be banned from international competition, what kind of example does he set? I think the pink and blue eyeshadow is dead sexxy! :)
