NBC - Day 2- Revenge of the Bathing Suit: Swimming, Beach Vollyball, and Gymnastics.

I miss Aaron Peirsol.

Totally random I know, but I just always found him so likeable.

Loving the Russian wearing the sea-foam green suit with a neon pink cap

I don't know why you're surprised. If there's one thing I've learned from ice dancing is that neon pink and bright yellow are the national colors of Russia.

The swimming fluff is driving me crazy at this point I'd be surprised if we se anybody but the Americans and maybe a couple of performances by Komova.

[Theatregirl1122]

Has Hansen ever beaten him? It seems like no.

He beat him in the 200 breast at worlds! In 2001! So there are kids swimming at this Olympics who were 4 years old when that happened.

So where is the headband then? Hmmmmm????

(someone start an inquiry!)

I think the Kitajima v. Hansen rivalry is really just built up sexual tension. All those years, stroking side by side, screaming, one trying to get on top of the other...

There has not bee such passion, such unrequited lurrrrve since Thorpe and Hogenhottie.

Who's the swimmer with damaged hair that wants to shine as a woman?

I love you. The real question is... do you feel this way about the most important thing of the whole games RYAN AND MICHAEL?


Oh, Oleada's newest husband is here.

[Theatregirl1122]

Natalie Coughlin

That commercial is trying too hard.

[dbell1]

Screaming commentator "He has figured out how to swim this race." Good. Otherwise he might drown?

I'm now going to wash my hair so I can shine as a snarker...

[Cloudy_Gumdrops]

Poor Kitajima.

He had some Kim Jong Il hair going on there after he took off his cap.

[Theatregirl1122]

Sprenger's reaction was adorable. He nearly did the Miss America fanning yourself with your hand.

[oleada]

Oh, Oleada's newest husband is here.

He's smiling at me

[Fridge_Break]

Everything about that race was made of satisfaction. South African winning. World record! Kitajima missing out on the medals! Hansen actually medaling! Hansen actually beating Kitajima (for once)!

Gave me goosies! (not really, I was just having a J.Lo moment)

[london_calling]

Whoo, so happy Hansen got a bronze! Exciting race!

[skipaway]

I can't express enough how much I hate the team USA outfits for podiums. Why are they GREY? Red. White. Blue. These are your colors. Work with them. Everyone else is wearing their country's colors.

If I had a paint set, I'd mix red, white and blue together. Maybe you get gray?

[dbell1]

I would pay good money to watch them toss Andrea Kreamer into the pool for asking one too many inane questions.

[Matryeshka]

oleada's penchant for polyandry is getting disturbing. I should take her latest one for theraputic purposes.

Do you think the Japanese media is doing a "Phelps" on Kitajima?
