      I watch. Weirdly, I am happy for any athlete that wins and is happy about it.
      It was good to see the chinese divers showing some excitement for winning.

      I also do not understand playing for a country you aren’t from or live in.
      Makes no sense. If you are all that,
      you should make the team for your country.

      Anyone watch Phelps 7th gold race? I really thought he came in 2nd – it was an amazing finish. I like his mom – she’s so sweet! She seems like such a down to earth mom. She was holding up two fingers and then the results flashed and she totally collapsed. I’ve been rooting for him just because I don’t want her disappointed!

        I didn’t see it live but I watched video of it later on. I wasn’t expecting such a close finish so I found myself holding my breath at the end. He’s really amazing and I’m so happy for him 😀

        Didn’t he win by a couple hundredths of a second or something? Just barely by the skin of his teeth (if teeth had skin – other then plaque buildup :lol:)…

            The black pad at the end of the pool registers the ‘touch’ of the swimmer and records the time. Not much seeing going on by human beans…

              If it wasn’t electronically timed, they would still be debating the winner! 🙂
