French can suck it

WOW! Watching the Olympics for the first time is pretty awesome. Well not the first time but the first time i've really paid attention to a lot of events. Pretty much what i want to say now...is that the French can suck it. Their proclamation that they would "destroy" the US (hinting at the 400m relay) was destroyed when the US beat the French by .08 of a second! Good job US Relay Time! Garrett Weber-Gale, Jason Lezak and Phelps, i dunno how Lezak pulled off catching up to French's anchor but he did it and out-touched him at the end. Swimming is intense!

My Comments:

US Men's Gymnastics - I'll be happy with Bronze, Silver would be a surprise to me. They got a lot of work especially with sticking landings cause that's really hurting them. I feel the US Men's Team is kind of unreliable and I'm on the edge of my seat the entire time thinking that someone is going to fall.

US Women's Gymnastics - Shawn Johnson is amazing...flawless events. The other girls seem very young and a few of them committed some pretty major mistakes but I hope they'll ramp it up in the finals. I wouldn't be surprised if they went out with the silver...the Chinese women have made their share of mistakes...i think it's anyone's game.

US Swimming - Well, it's cliche but i look forward to watching Michael Phelps, but i want to see diving too and see what other Americans are going to do when Phelps stops going to the Olympics. Something I didn't realize is that I'm watching history in the making as Phelps is quickly becoming the BEST Olympian in the history of the games. The MOST gold medals out of anyone and maybe the most of anyone in one round of Olympic games.

This will be interesting!
