London Olympics: "We're pretty much ready..."

[HorseshoeFetish]

An American has won each of the first three heats in the 100. Bolt is up next.

The Americans and Jamacians win 6 of the 7 heats, I'm completely shocked. Or not.

Actually, the biggest shock of the morning sessions is Leshawn Meritt not finishing his 400m heat... I didn't see it so I don't know what happened to him. He was the gold medal favorite. Of note in the 400m, South African Oscar "Blade Runner" Pistorius finished 2nd in his heat to qualify for the semis.

Hanstring - according to Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports, on Twitter. He's done.

Olympics? Hamstring injury? 400 meters?

it doesn't matter how many times I've seen it.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Yeah. This team is as good as the Dream Team.

What the heck USA?

Just read that on Flotrack... damn. That means he'll be out for the 4x400 too, unfortunate for the US as it will now be tougher to keep their stranglehold on that event.

Yeah. This team is as good as the Dream Team.

I don't remember every second of every real Dream Team game....but I can't imagine seeing any DT member begging for a 3 foul shot call on that foul on Chris Paul as he crossed half court.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Damn you, Lebron. I hate being happy when you do good things.

Is it just me or has Kobe been completely worthless?

 

[Mac]

Wow, pulled out the win, barely

The dream team didnt have to ask for call because they were already up 30

I am still befuddled as to to how and why trampolining is an Olympic sport.

Are you talking about the one where they go like 20 feet into the air? Thats pretty cool but hardly an olymplic sport

I'm pretty sure if you can do a flip, and people can be subjective in judging your flip, it automatically qualifies as an Olympic sport.

Gold for the Bryans in doubles.
