Dysdale should've stayed at the Olympic villiage, or…

Why is the emphasis on that fellow and not, for example, on [eight gold medal winner] Michael Phelps? Both those guys are just freakish athletes.

If I had to make a guess why, my first guess would be that he won both races at a canter and well ahead of…

I cringed so hard I needed medical attention.

Oh. My. God.
Hadn't even heard about that interview, sweet jeebus.

World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) director general David Howman says the Americans seemingly building a doping case against Usain Bolt should look at themselves first ...

"Sometimes these doubts are cast but I would suggest some Americans could look at themselves…

All the candid shots of the athletes coming into the stadium were awesome, though; you got the sense that there was…

In the double sculls gold, they had Peter Montgomery talking as he did up until they crossed the line (the "ahead when they actually were still well behind" moment), but they cut the stupidity that he…

That clip was more painful than a hundred videos of skaters faceplanting.

I wish I hadn't followed that link Russ. She makes Dick gruntster seem, almost, well, um, whatever.

"Stick a video on, doesn't matter what, they won't care."

Same approach over at TV2. Army Wives is finishing two episodes short of it's first season run. No explanation. Maybe the punters won't notice? :)

No context, no background info, no imagination, no follow-ups, no sense of what it all means, just…

I mean, come ON!

I know. Typical, huh?

You can see the critical moment at about 4:42 and 7:03 on this vid.

But…

I'm sensing a groundswell for change – ALL women's events (except for the weightlifters & stuff) will henceforth be performed in pouring rain! Sprinklers will have to be installed in every stadium.

I'm a strong proponent of what you do for one,…

Per capita, I love how we need to get our game face on against... Solvenia...

and we'll lead.

Also, heart out to those countries that rurn out every 4 years and are yet to increase their medal mineral deposit...

But I’d be looking for some wrap-ups after the games have finished… :)

The Olympics is a bit too overwhelming for me and I can't be bothered with most of the sports although I have enjoyed a few moments, especially the super Saturday events.…

That would have been fantastic in the rain.

Oh well,being 4th and not crashing is pretty good.

Crashes in almost every race so far, so expect drama one way or another.

Sarah Walker has just qualified second for the BMX final, which will run in, I guess, about half an hour.

Cheers for the heads-up.

On TVNZ or one of the Freeview channels?

It was absolutely hypnotic.

they had the same shots during the women's marathon. As their feet hit the ground you could see all of the muscles and joints take the shock and then their legs muscles tense for the next stride. Fantastic.

20 metres later he’s still hanging in there,…

Bolt comes into the straight first equal. He starts jogging towards the line but the other guy is hanging in there.

Bolt gives him the glare as if to say “just stop it man”

20 metres later he’s still hanging in there, Bolt gives him another…

Isinbayeva making it on her last attempt. Talk about seizing the moment. A champion.
