NBC Broadcast - 2012 Olympics - Day 3 (Mon, July 30)

Well I just peeked at the news. Bet this was very dramatik in real time. In fact the drama went on and on eh.
Is rings still an event? I dont recall seeing any yet in this truly horrid coverage.

Oh you have no idea.

I wonder if NBC even shows what happened at the end given that it had nothing to do with the US.

I blame the pink arena. The men needed some macho black or something.

Bedtime for me. Sore after a fall yesterday. Time to tape and mute.

Night snarkers. :lol:

So by my count we've seen 2/12 of China's gold medal routines so far.

There are no words to describe the extent of NBC's suckiness.

ah, nevermind, 2 rotations still to come, maybe we'll see more.

Jake Dalton = hottest American gymnast, y/y?

For those who made the team, I'd go with Leyva.

Two alternates, Chris Brooks and Alex Naddour are the hottest US guys imo.

2/18!

I'm being very charitable assuming we'll get maybe two more from rotations 5 and 6.

Just turned it off. To think I coulda been watching Big Bang and 30 R reruns instead. :P

Daney, Jake, and Alex are the hottest US men, IMO.

Jake Dalton = hottest American gymnast, y/y?

IMO yes (love me some Jake and have for a few years now) but I think the entire US team is full of hotness along with alternate Chris Brooks. It helps that they're all super awesome guys too. :swoon:

I think we need to form a group and fly over to London to console the US guys. I'm all ready booking my plane ticket.... :P

Finally, the backstroke! There's a Cincy guy in this final, Nick Thoman, and I've been waiting for his race all day. Go Nick!! :cheer:

[Fergus]

My husband! :swoon:

Big, doofy, & part Dutch, mmmmmmm...... :grope:

I think the coach (es) who decided Orozco should vault in team finals needs a good slap.
Who would you have had in his place?

[Cloudy_Gumdrops]

Yay US guys! :cheer2:

and double yay that they didn't break Peirsol's record. :D

[Cloudy_Gumdrops]

Who would you have had in his place?

Horton, or even Leyva.

Vault has been a continuous problem for Orozco.

[danafan]

Who would you have had in his place?

Horton! The only reason he didn't vault in prelims was to ensure Orozco and Layeva could qualify for the all around final.

[HeatherC]

Yay Matt and Nick!!! :cheer2:

[pollyanna]

For those who made the team, I'd go with Leyva.

Two alternates, Chris Brooks and Alex Naddour are the hottest US guys imo.

Sam is v. hot.
