I looked up and caught one just as she was flying through the air doing amazing evolutions and for an instant it was like she really was flying. Incredible. All of them, all countries.

And then there are those of us with body types that fit a sport that must have not been invented, yet.

Like couch sitting?

Like couch sitting?

No, I'm more active than that. Bouncing on the couch, now . . .

The ending of the Woman's All Around Gymnastics almost had me in tears last night. What an amazing performance by both Nastia and Shawn. Never been into Gymnastics, but I definitely bought in this year. Just incredible.

And of course, Phelps got his 6th gold and 6th World Record. That guy's a freak of nature.

ETA: Dara Torres is awesome.

Just spotted my first Olympic crush.

This...

...but covered in a sheen of sweat, wearing a short sleeved jersey soaked by the damp, hot air in the Beijing arena, strands of wet hair clinging to her neck...

What I'd want to do with her is probably illegal in China.

Here are three more for you to consider, Brother Bear.

LERYN FRANCO

Michelangelo would have loved those men swimmers. Wow - Greek gods.

That's the best way to put it that I've ever seen.

 

[Trombonus]

Ah, that's more like it. USA Basketball defeated reigning world champion Spain 119-82 today. That's what we need to be doing.

What I can't get over is how many medals in swimming the Norwegians are winning. They rule the winter games but just where, in Norway, is the water warm enough to go swimming?

Must be something in the water.

That's why they're fast. They need to get from one side of the fjord to the other before certain parts turn blue.

I hate NBC. The Olympics have been on for over 2 hours and all they've shown is the marathon. There is a ton of live events going on right now!

ARRRRGGGGG!!!

That's why I quit watching several Games ago. If the event isn't something that the suits think the NASCAR dads and soccar moms want to watch, they don't show it.

Swedish Public Service TV sends Olympics on two channels, plus there's a live web feed of all the more odd events.

Right now they're covering women's softball, a politically surreal game between China and Taiwan.

That's one of the few places Socialism has an advantage over Capitalism, darn it. And I'll bet that is surreal. Wow!
