LMAO at Jimmy Fallon. "Thank you Mistay May Treanor for having the nickname 6 feet of sunshine and thank you Long Dong for not having that nickname."

BMX expert - "I've rode through that injury myself." cringe.

Hey, tomorrow the main netwk. is showing some interesting stuff including- ta da- mtn. biking.

Makes up a bit for my missing some of the other faves but "less glam" sports, like triathlon and open water.

[A.H.Black]

Isn't Modern Pentathlon tomorrow too.

Grrr. Being an hour behind, I'm missing some of the BMX because of the NBC news interruption.

I feel so badly for Morgan Uceny--I can't believe she fell again. She could have won Worlds last year and the Olympics, and she ends up down on the track in both races. I hope she comes back next year and wins a medal in Moscow.

That was awful, but in the spirit of my skating coach, I wanted to yell at her "get up and keep going!" Instead she had a right hissy fit on the track. Obviously she wasn't going to medal, but finish the race.

I agree. I can't help but think finishing would have helped - if just emotionally. Like your skating coach spirit, I wanted to say "The next time you don't finish a race, you better have a significant injury".

Ita. When the whole Decker/Budd fiasco occurred I at first felt badly for Mary but as the evening went on my heart went out to Budd. Disappointment and sadness can be noble but I don't think Mary received that memo. I know I'm probably not being fair but that was my honest reaction at the time.
