I am in love with Maya DiRado.

I think the line of the night was from Rowdy Gaines, when he and Hicks were talking about Anthony Ervin's travels after his first gold.

Hicks: He became sort of a vagabond for a while.
Gaines: I know; he was on my couch.

Katie Ledecky had her cap and goggles off, and was leaning on the divider rope, by the time the second place swimmer came in.

Wow.

She did an interview and was on the medal stand and there were still swimmers in the pool. Ledecky is the female Chuck Norris.

Was that the finals?

I watched one of her races a few days ago, I think the first one she smoked people in....immediately afterwards she was giving an interview to the NBC idiot and she wasn't even remotely out of breath. she was breathing as I would when i make a cup of coffee. that's incredible.

The Ethiopian woman who won the 10,000 meters took victory laps and looked like she could go another 10,000 meters. She annihilated everyone.

Ledecky is the female swimming version of Usain Bolt. She's just that far ahead of the field.

Am I the only one who loses interest in the Olympics during the second week? I've always cared about swimming and gymnastics, and after that I'm kind of meh on week two. The track events just don't do it for me.

haven't seen that one yet. my wife and I have a shitload of Olympics recorded and we watch at our leisure, even if we know the outcomes of certain races. I'll keep a look out for the Ethiopian.

Same.

Gymnastics, swimming, diving....those keep my interest.
I might be inclined to watch some of the field events, but I can't tell you the last time I actually saw one televised.

Didn't mean to spoil it for you, but you have to see it. It was the most dominant distance race I have ever seen.

no worries. I've been following the games somewhat on Yahoo, EPSN etc, so alot of times I already know the outcome etc.
