Nobody else came close, a 5 second distance between them and second

The American women seem to dominate all the events they are supposed to

Any comment on the men's 4 x 100?

One to catch today-

The great Cuban, Mario Kindelan- reckoned by many to be one of the greatest pound-for-pound boxers in the world. He's up against the staggering 17-year old Briton Amir Khan, who has destroyed everyone he's fought. Should be a good one.

Hell of a result.

[Winston]

Now it's 22-22. 10 minutes to go.

This is going to kill me.

[Winston]

24-22 Denmark, 6 minutes remaining!!

[Winston]

25-25, 90 seconds to go.

Danish time-out.

[Winston]

*faints*

Full time, 25-25. Goes to 2x5 min. extension, just like in Atlanta 1996.

Why does it always have to be so goddamn exciting?

[Winston]

Lives will surely be lost from this across the country, don't you think?

[Drake Tungsten]

God, taekwondo is hella homo-gay...

[Winston]

Korea takes first half of the extension, 27-26, 5 minutes yet.

Brrr...

[Monk]

Korea with a one point lead after the first five minutes. Could have been more, as the Danish players are looking increasingly nervous.

[Monk]

Perhaps the nervousness is due to the playing of that Zorba theme over and over.

At least now they've changed it to Abba. Hopefully euro-pop will confuse the Koreans.
