Phelps vs. Lochte in the 200 IM today. Also, Women's All-Around competition is today. Aly and Gaby; let's do this! BTW, tomorrow is Day 7, aka, the end of the first week. I think we should all list our 3 (or 5 or however many) most memorable moments of each week, and then at the end of the Olympics, do an overall listing. It would be interesting to me to see what resonates with you fellas. Edited by obatskii, Aug 2 2012, 08:23 AM.

BTW, I can't believe I said that few days ago. It must have taken me a while to get warmed up, because I'm locked and loaded now. |

I read earlier she had a chance to accomplish that feat. Impressive! |

Gabby Douglas wins gold! YES!!! Another one of those young kids with an absolutely infectious personality. Raisman gets 4th on some lame tiebreak despite tying for 3rd with another girl. I wonder what the tiebreak they used is? Not sure they couldn't give out 2 bronzes.... |

Yeah, I read that too. Seems pretty cheap when they already score the apparatuses to the 1000th decimal place. Nobody will remember who was 3rd or 4th in 10 years, and winning the team competition is much more important, but still wish she could have been on that podium. |

In an all around competition, dropping the lowest score would see to benefit the person who did worse. Why note drop the lowest AND the highest? |

I could see it either way. Raisman's performance was more steady, while the Russian's was a bit more electric without the consistency. I guess they're aware of the rules going in, but it would seem more fair to have a pre-designated event where they each participate in a playoff (or just give them each bronze). |

BTW, some of you might find this interesting... On ESPN radio at lunch on the Hill & Schlereth show, they were saying that each American gets $25k for a gold medal, 15k for silver, and 10k for bronze. |
