| Elite Fan   | Thanks for starting the new thread. I can`t wait to see the 200 IM tonight. I have to admit that i`m torn between Michael and Ryan. Hopefully they`ll give us a good race and both medal. Also i hope that Shawn and Nastia can put behind their disappointment from a couple of days ago and rebounded in the women`s all-around finals. __________________ Join the movement and vote for Dollhouse.

| The men's 200 backstroke is the one I'm nervous about. I really want Aaron and Ryan to go 1-2, and I'd love to see Markus get the bronze, although he looks like he might have some pressure from Irie. It will definitely be close and intense. The 200 IM... I don't know. I'm nervous for Ryan, especially since the time between those two events is so ridiculous. I wish Ryan and Michael would be entering on equal ground, but Michael has a huge advantage in that Ryan literally has twenty-five minutes between the backstroke and IM finals. To put that in perspective, given the time between going back and forth between the competitive pool and the warm down pool, plus the time he needs to spend in the ready room, he'll have maaaaybe 15-20 minutes to get the lactic acid out of his body after the backstroke. It takes at least 30 to get it all out, plus another 20-30 to warm up for the next race. He's going to be hurting before he even jumps into the pool for the IM.  ETA: To clarify, I still expect Ryan to medal. I will be surprised (and devastated!) if he doesn't. __________________ Summer "Lochte... seems more worried whether his mom will remember to put Skittles in his weekly goodie bag of candy she sends him than about any international competition."

| Master Fan | Bela cracks me up. I really think more people in this country would watch non-Olympic gymnastics if they used him this way in their coverage more often. | |||

| Moderator Support Team  | Super looking forward to swimming and gymnastics tonight. I hope Phelps and Lochte go 1-2 (respectively) in 200IM and Peirsol and Lochte go 1-2 (or vise versa) in the 200 back. Likewise, hopefully Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin take gold and silver in the all-around! | |||

Team USA's men's basketball team and men's volleyball team both clinched spots in the medal rounds with wins over Greece and Bulgaria respectively. Not only did Roger Federer get eliminated, both Venus and Serena Williams were also eliminated today as well. As much I like both Shawn and Nastia, I think Nastia edges Shawn for the gold. __________________ LiveJournal Avatar credit: Wildfire Girl New Orleans Saints: (6-6) Last game: L @ Tampa Bay 20-23; Next game: Dec. 7th vs. Atlanta LSU Tigers football: (7-5) Last game: L @ Arkansas 30-31; Next game: Bowl Last edited by BearDogg-X : 08-14-2008 at 07:25 PM. | |||
