My mom blurted out the result to me earlier. Fortunately, I already knew as well. I managed to miss the track ones though. And that makes me sad since they didn't do very well.

I definitely think there will be an Olympic gymnastics scoring re-vamp after this is done.

It's Wed. night at 11 EST/10 CST.

I already know how beam ended, so I was "safe" to go to nbcolympics.com.

I'm too weak to not look at the results. I have to know.

Cool, thank you! That will be one to watch for sure!

they have BMX bike race on now...that is cool cause my BIL an his daughter(now 17 was about 8 or 9 when they started traveling all over to compete.) raced alot a few years ago and she was good enough to race for Team USA one year even beating the boys in her age class...I bet she wishes she stuck with it now its an Olympic event cause she was really great....an they had the Nationals just 5 miles from her home at Tom Sawer Park in Louisville Ky....with a great track. He broke his ankle in a race and they quit after that....I went to a few of the races an watched them compete.

That'd be great but I might as well stay up too (as long as it starts pretty soon). I have to work anyway - the joys of telecommuting. And it's not quite midnight here yet.
