I was watching the mens team gymnastics last night. I've been watching those events every Olympics since I was a kid, and it still blows me away what those guys and gals can do.
Some of the dismounts on the high bar were just mind-boggling. And the iron cross on the rings? Fuhgeddaboutit. Great games so far.

Those dismounts are pretty freakin crazy. Sucks though...those videos where they land just a little bit wrong and they blow their ACL or PCL.
That's gotta SUCK.
Not exactly high bar or Olympics but, you get the idea.

Phelps is the only one I really know, but I do enjoy watching swimming and I do go

Glad they were able to shut the Frenchies' traps for trash talking like that.

Don't think it's there yet, but everything should be on NBC website, they say they're also streaming most of everything in real time.
