It's not the olympics without judges being made of FAIL

SAME START VALUE. One with a screwed up landing. Guess which one ended up with the gold? yeah.

That tie-breaker system is fucked, man. Apparently FIG IOC decided that record-keeping double medals in gymnastics was too taxing or something. Poor Nastia. But boy, is she a clone of her mom, or what?

Think how fast Usain Bolt might have gone if he didn't stop and wave to his mom in the middle of the 100m? ok, I exaggerate slightly, but, day-um. Talk about making it look easy.

Speaking of day-um, I'm fairly sure that the final lap of the men's 10000 m was run faster than I could do it. Without running 9,600m before it. I ... should be in better shape.

I missed the first showings of trampoline yesterday somehow. How can this be???? Luckily there's supposed to be more later.

Yawn. Mom-in-law left today after a two week visit, and that, on top Small Person vacation and late night Olympics-watching is making me SO tired.

And unable to write fic - it makes me itchy.

Is in shock cos GB is 3rd on the medals table now but thats cos we're brilliant at cycling and sailing and rowing.

otherwise its China all the way. Think they just have to smile at the judges and oh look they win again.

Yeah, I'm really glad when someone else wins over the chinese, especially in gymnastics. I was rooting so hard for Poland on men's vault yesterday! :)

And that's definitely a rather nice haul of gold there for UK! :) I know nothing about all the different sailing events, other than the US generally sucks at them. ;)

We suck at everything lol. This is our best olpymics since 1908! We won our first athletic medals - a gold and a silver - for almost 20 yrs today.
