    Theyre lucky to have pulled that one out.
    Probably the most exciting Olympic basketball game I can remember watching.

    women's 10,000m race was pretty exciting. I was very surprised that the Italian got silver. The Americans were in it until the last lap. Great race ladies!

    It's amazing how every other USA relay team is great besides the mens 4x100.  Women's 4 x400 today was incredible.

    Really sad to see Chiles is having her bronze stripped when the IOC had the opportunity to give both Romania and her a bronze due to the judges failures. Yes, they were 4 seconds past time for the inquiry, but also, the judges fucked up so if I was Romania, I'd be a bit embarrassed to take the sole bronze over a technicality and not due to performance. 
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Exactly 
    Have a special little ceremony, award a bronze to both young ladies, APOLOGIZE PROFUSELY for the judges error. 

    Wouldn't that be more in the "Spirit" of the games?
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    If they were late then they shouldn't have been able to file a inquiry?

    I agree with Speedy.

    All we get is YouTube streaming and all they show is a continuous steady cam shot of the audience.  So I get to see people watching the closing events.  Woo hoo...

    I'm glad you got to see it!
    I'll try to find highlights later  (and then continue my search for a place to live that is more civilized, LOL!)
