**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 |

Guess not. He merely set a new Olympic record to qualify, so obviously he had to completely annihilate the world record by a body length for the final.

Judo alert, our only entrant for tonight (men's half lightweight) fights in about 15-20 minutes. Youll probably have to watch it online.

Nice! Asian american judo dude (Taylor Takata) pulled off a 10 point move to beat the greek in overtime. His next match is probably in an hour or two.

Just saw a hilarious match where a Cuban was pretty far ahead on points, then got his opponent into a bad position in the air where it was obvious he was about to win. He could have just dropped him from a low level and it would be over, but then it was like he decided "screw it, I'm going to hurt this guy", used his leverage to pick him up higher and slammed him from 4-5 feet.

In the sport of jabbing sharp stabbity things at someone else, our only entrant tonight was just eliminated in men's epee. Oh well, I guess we can still count on a gold from women's team sabre.

Is the judo online only? I can't find it. All I see is volleyball and boxing.

Looks like the American will fight a guy from the Netherlands next. Hard to tell when itll be, they are already running way behind schedule.
