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.

Well she looked like she was about to cry. I couldn't believe she said in the interview later that she was looking forward to seeing her coach and her family. I mean seriously girl, get yourself a new coach. That dude is bad news. He even reamed her out when he knew he was wired for sound! That shows an unbelievable lack of empathy or ability to self-censor.
