I'm watching, but I just can't figure out the scoring. I like the timed events much more.

I still don't know how the Chinese girl managed to score over a 15 when she totally landed on her knees. She didn't fall, she landed on her knees! But it was a good night anyway.

But last night, we had no live coverage and I think the same will happen tonight since I've already heard some things that happened "last night" in Beijing (which was very early in our morning).

That's disappointing. I got used to live coverage where it didn't matter if I listened to the sports since they weren't giving anything away.

I know, that was very odd. I feel bad for Alicia Sacramone...it would've been nice for her to medal after her performance in the team finals. But good job by Nastia and Shawn.

Bummer about the beach volleyball team.

Did anybody see the US women's soccer game this morning? Right before the second half started they were playing "We're All In This Together" from High School Musical. I thought that was really weird.

Which men's volleyball team? Team 1 or Team 2?

#2...Gibb and Rosenthal (I'm pretty sure those are their names).

#2...Gibb and Rosenthal (I'm pretty sure those are their names).

Too bad, they were fun to watch. I can't believe how high Rosenthal can jump.

Yup the best Brazil team that took the Gold last year....beat them earlier today
