to think he could have had 2 golds in 2 hours time span if he had just held on earlier

if he would have trained the way he did for beijing he could have probably went 8 for 8 again .. how insane would that have been?i dont think that gold got him a 3 peat but i think he still has another race left that could and also needs one more medal to set the all time record at 20 total.
edit nevermind that 19th is the record

I thought that was his last race. While not double gold, I'm sure he's not complaining too much

Well we're leading in a tight one at the moment.

Phelps just proving he's leagues above Ryan Lochte. The two shouldn't even be compared yet.

Can't say I'm a massive fan of women's football, but great result for Team GB tonight doing something the English national team don't seem to be able to do, a 1-0 win over Brazil. Well done ladies!

Dang it, OG, why do you have to hit your shots into the net? You lost us the set!

I hope you're right, I thought it was a bit weird he done in 3 or 4 days.
At least you know for sure that your men's team would beat your women's team in a heads up match - not sure we can say the same on this side of the pond.
edit: English national team would beat women's Great Britain olympic team to clarify. I'm not smart enough to navigate your geo-political region, apparently.

LOL, I'm not sure I'd put money on it.
So I've just been reading on twitter about NBC's coverage of the Olympics. It sounds awful, from what I can gather, a lot of the event seem to be on tape delay?
What I did read, which if true, I find disgusting, the opening ceremony was obviously tape delayed (by 6 hours on the west coast?). As a result of the tape delay, NBC were able to edit it slightly. One of the parts edited out was the tribute to the 7/7 victims. As I say, if that is true, that is unforgivable, more so, as that attrocity took place the day after London learned it had the games!!! I don't know how, but as I shall be living in the US come the next games, I need to find a way of getting BBC coverage!

that's what happened indeed. Shameful!
no need to, you'll see the results if you try to wait
indeed. Last night during one of his post-race interviews, she asked him how he expected to do, Phelps says "I'll let my swimming do the talking" - obv. a jab at Lochte's mouthing off. I thought it was funny.

Yes, NBC has been trending on all the social media sites, and not in a good way.

I certainly can't think of too many positive things I've heard about the coverage.

Fact. I was so annoyed with every media outlet everywhere suddenly turning Lochte into the golden boy just because Phelps didn't medal in a race HE DIDN'T EVEN TRAIN FOR! Lochte will never be as good as Michael Phelps. Phelps is just the perfect balance of natural talent and hard work.
