the men should sit in first class, more leg room.

interesting insight from Lang Ping who has coached in 3 different countries

Congrats USA! Great job on winning gold.

Yay I'm on the podium. It was fun. Thanks Justyna for keeping track of results.

Quote from Celso

Congrats to China, for leading the medal ranking the whole OG always with a huge advantage over the US.

Way to go, China!

As expected China wins most medals. Too bad they did it at expense of other countries. US has almost same medal count as Athens but China really improved alot. They did great job preparing and hosting Olympics. Great Britain performed great too. That's good news for 2012.

Bronze: RUSSIA-ITALY 3:1

Final: USA-BRASIL 3:1

Congratulations to Brazil! They were definitely the best team in this Olympics.

Good job USA too! Glad they got at least one set to ruin Brazil's perfect record.

Quote from Joana

But they're Russian citizens like everybody else, don't nitpick.

I don't like athletes changing nationalities either, but IMO Liukin's case was different.

so you don't like Cavic? He was born in the States, went to school there, lives and trains there, but swims for Serbia.
i don't care what country athletes choose to represent. just wanna see good race

Quote from Armel

Today's relay's result was far from predictable !
It took an amazing Lezak to save Phelps's day.

But I think this relay was considered the hardest gold medal for Phelps to win. So he made a huge step to this 8 gold medals record today.

Wow. One of the best relay races i've ever seen. Absolutely amazing. Just .08 of a second in front.
