Today has been a really good day in the Olympics for me. The best moment was César Cielo winning the swimming gold medal in the 50-metre freestyle (in Olympic-record time). The boy was so thrilled. He cried in the pool, in the interview, in the podium. :D
Before that Phelps got his 7th gold medal, wich was a nice moment too. I like him and don't find boring the fact that he's getting his record-braking medals. It's amazing when an athlete is capable to excel like that.
Federer won a gold medal. I didn't watch the final, just the semis (funny celebration btw, kind of weird too).
And Ricardo & Emanuel in the beach volleyball had an amazing comeback against the russians.

Congrats Cielo!! :proud: :star:

Do You know who he had in mind? Hingis? I'd say her comeback was ok ...
Hingis was among the names he threw around (though her comeback was ok, she never really reached her late 90's level), I don't remember other names, but he did said some others.

Watching the Jamaican's (Bolt specially, he makes it look so easy) run is a delight.

I'm glad that gold and Silver went to a Jamaican and a Trini ...but now the Jamaicans are going to rub it in our faces for the next four years :cry: (Trinidad and Jamaica are eternal rivals in the Caribbean....but it's friendly)

I believe the Suit the players are wearing should be banned! It has given them all very much prevliges, and made it much easier to Phileips(if he wears it) to break swimmer's records!That is UNFAIR!

Nadal has won one set over Gonzalez
6-3

^^ so? every athlete uses new technology, even us when we buy athletic equipment, so are you saying we should ban everything in sport and go back to old stuff that might even injure people?

Old swim suits injure people?...Progress is very good, but not when it means you are breaking records of other people...Superior than you in sports..But you were lucky you got the better suits!

u make it seem that it is personal:D..when players work so hard to break records..and others come and break it just because of tech..well that is unfair...
i only meant swimming cuz in other sports tech has only made the game safer,more fair, and nicer,....

of course nothing personal :D.... i get your point but you have this is not the 70's or so, swimming has become harder because of this new tech meaning that your opponents are gonna be better, which is why Phelps owns because he owns other swimmers with the same tech :D
