Wheeee!

Lots to look forward to today most of which I won't get to see because I'm off to London on an Olympic void! :cheer:

Safe travel to you and the Mr.! Can't wait to hear the up close and personal snarks and observations!!

[gingercrush]

Hopefully we get another medal today in rowing. Double sculls. Good chance even Gold perhaps but that final is probably the most competitive.

It's day six - time for misskarne's now-traditional whine...

:yawn:

Is the swimming over yet?! :lol:

Hockey on, but the TV just got hijacked to Star Trek.

No idea what's on later, I'll play the Channel 9 Olympic roulette...which will probably be swimming. :rolleyes:

Silver for Brit Lightweight 4 in rowing! :cheer: Epic race

Well done South Africa :)

[mazzy]

Here's hoping Germany misses medals in dressage and hell breaks lose over the fed's heads. How they could have messed up such a strong discipline where Germany has not lost an Olympic Games since 1972 is beyond incompetent. Go NED/UK/USA!

I'd like to be a cox in rowing, just sit there and shout at people and win medals - Awesome :P

I'm watching the replay of the Women's Individual 1/8 Elim. Round in Archery right now....the aim of these women is fantastic, but I'm trying to figure out who decided that the competitors were to do their best impression of Gilligan :rofl:.

Mustafina has grown on me throughout the competition. Even tho I'm American I'm rooting for her to win gold. Plus I love her use of glitter :D
