I guess Murray must be on cloud 9 - first 'big' thing he wins!
seems that way..

what is up with Federer? he seems totally out of it. I'm still rooting for him, but it looks like its going to to to Murray
Apart from the 'glory', what's in it for a professional player as successful as Federer? Doesn't count towards seeding/ranking, no money.... maybe not enough motivation?
Pride. Federer seems to choke in close matches more and more. Plus, even the best have their bad days. Federer really wanted this, has nothing to do with lack of motivation for him. I wanted Federer to have his Golden Slam but he was out played, so well done Andy Murray. Very well-deserved.
And Juan Martin Del Potro took the bronze against Djokovic to get Argentina's first medal. So proud of him.
Actually, so proud of all four of them, really. Very classy. This is why I watch tennis.

true.,tennis is so classy..
and we never know how an athlete feels..
i mean its easy for us to watch from tv the match and have opinion..
who knows if Federer,was sick,or not feel god,or has a pain in his hand,leg etc..

I think the best athletes have a tremendous amount of pride and a healthy amount of arrogance. I'm perfectly content being average, which is why I'm watching the Olympics, as opposed to being in it
Ok boys, women in bikinis alert. Beach volleyball on MSNBC right now Austria-China if you're in the US. I think this is actually live!
Europe watching too

I assumed that was the case Just the US schedule is hard to figure out so some people may not realize that it's on.
Murray playing in the mixed doubles finals now too but that's not on TV here. Would be great if he wins gold there too!
he made the 1st step..

I think I should stop watching the Olympics and go to the gym so I can look like those women playing beach volleyball
Maybe, just maybe if you watch them long enough, looking like them could come through osmosis and not the torture of the gym???? Has anyone tried that yet?

Trying that right now, will let you know how I make out :P
Although they've decided to show water polo and field hockey on TV now that Misty May and Kerri Walsh have started their match. Very curious programming decisions.

I've discovered the other day that I have a good couple of dozen channels dedicated to the olympics. Apparently, I can watch EVERY event at EVERY venue if I wanted to (obviously recording some and watching others). So no excuse of weird programming. Aaaahhh... Tivo and the BBC/Sky - what would I do without them?

Most countries do hand out money for medals. In Canada you get $20k for winning gold, and then down from there. China I think gives a really big amount and sets them up with a house! I'm sure the US does give $$ to medal winners as well.
(Edit: yup, just checked and gold gets $25k in the US, plus a lot of the individual sports federations give bonuses on top of that too. . )
