Has anyone seen the equestrian sports yet?  I haven't been able to catch them, only swimming, diving, and gymnastics.

Go U.S.A. medal winners!!  They've been doing great from what I've seen thus far! Grin

Phelps made it look so easy when he swam last night and won gold. He was like, a whole body length ahead!

My mom watched the cross country yesterday. It was raining really hard and a lot of people took a spill. That's all I know....

Well our tv has been on the Olympic events since the start. My boys are enjoying a good bit of it.

The thing that I just love......My son Stewart(age 9) talked about his goal of wanting to become a runner. He has started running with his dad every chance he gets. His 1/4 mile aint bad!

While watching the Olympics....he turned to me and talked about his goal of the Olympics. I wonder how many little children are thinking things like that this week!

Its great to dream....wish....then act!

Before coming to this forum this morning, I made the mistake of reading an AOL article about the disappointing Women's Gymnastics Finals, and an even bigger mistake of reading some of the reader comments.
To say they were overly critical of the US Team in general and Alicia Sacramone in particular would be an understatement.
CHOKERS! LOSERS! BUMS!
All from morons who probably can't walk down the street without tripping over their own feet.
Alicia and her teammates can represent me anytime.
