**The Official 2008 Beijing Olympics Thread**
Here it is! Your thread to talk about anything and everything 2008 Summer Olympics! (Except politics. Lets please try and keep this strictly to the sporting events)
Looks like Soccer started yesterday officially. China is 13 hours ahead of Central time. So most of the live coverage will be middle of the night. Alot of NBC's primetime coverage will be tape delayed. Link to Yahoos Olympic site: http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/bei...J7PK_KsSMSv5V4 |

8 golds, 7 world records, 1 Olympic record. I'd say Phelps had an okay Olympics, lol...

Another great race. Phelps' turns just continue to amaze me... it's like he gains a half a body length before making it to the surface.

Pretty amazing. The only unfortunate thing is Lezak probably is never going to get the credit he deserves, he definitely had a huge hand in it.

Oh don't be too sure of it. Hardcore Olympic US fans will remember it. The media, however, will always slant towards Phelps and all that.

NBC couldn't wait but a few minutes to capitalize off his achievements. Order now!!!

He had a HUGE hand in the 4x100, but in this race, he pretty much just held the lead that Phelps generated. While that's still awesome, that's his job as the anchor - that particular leg wasn't anything real special (unless his split was incredible, which I don't think it was)...
