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.

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.
