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?
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. . )
Murray wasn't playing for money as the British athletes don't get medal bonuses
So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

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?
oh...thats great!!!
Got beer and stuff Dimi... just make your way over here!

VERY hard! My mom put me into synchro lessons when I was a teenager, and I was a very strong swimmer (if I'd per sued it I probably would have been competitive). I spent 12 weeks mimicking a panicked drowning person!

Just watching the finish of the marathon now (thank you heat wave, for making it too hot to do anything beside sit by a fan with an icepack and watch the Olympics! ). Great finish for the gold and silver!
Surprised to see all the soldiers guarding the crowd though. I realize some contract issue made them pull in some soldiers for regular Olympic security, but it still looks a bit intimidating - not a common sight in London!

Yeah, it's lame. The only reason they let it in was to boost ratings because they knew horny guys might want to watch the women in bikinis. Seriously, though, that's why. :?

That one announcer for the women gymnastics basically jinxed Mikayla Maroney before she even did her vault. "They know she's going to win." :fp:

I'm still looking desperately for this beautiful song. Can anyone who watched the French programme or know where I can find the women's duets (synchronized swimming) songs help me out?
