I know I saw the US beat Lithuania but I lost track there.

That's good to hear. So, now we're tied with Lithuania.

I got bored and watched the gymnastics competition last night. Some seriously crazy stuff, although I do not believe those Chinese girls are all 16+.

Alicia Sacramone is seriously cute.

Post your most anticipated Olympic event.

Mine is the BMX racing, I used to race back in the day, this being the first year it is in the Olympics I'm pumped. The track looks intense!





There is 2 sections, you can see after the first turn, Men go right and jump that 2nd burm, women go left and rid the tables.

This is what I can not wait to see as well. I remember back in the early 80's when they were trying to get BMX racing into the Olympics then. The reason it did not make it was it was not a worldwide sport at its infant stages of the sport.

Side note Bubba Harris while training and practicing at this track, wrecked and just about tore his foot off his leg. The only thing holding it on was his skin. Not sure when this happened and how his recovery has been doing or if he is even in the Olympics because of it. I will see if I can find that article about it.

* Exactly one year to the day BMX competition was to start in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, he completely dislocated the left ankle at the talus bone on August 20, 2007 in Beijing, China on the official Olympic track during his first run of his Time Trial. Comming out of the second turn he took an extra two pedals before setting up for the jumps. This did not leave him enought time to make the transistion smoothly. He hit the first jump of the rhythm section and his right foot became unclipped from that pedal. He hit two sccessive jumps essentially one footed, his still clipped in left foot taking the weight.[21] He hit a fourth sccessive jump slightly obliquely and was launched sideways by his momentum into the air, coming down on the back side of a jump with his left foot still clipped into an SPD pedal. It was twisted at approximately a 90 degree angle from its proper possition.[22] Doctors almost amputated his foot. After three months of recuperation, he attempted to race the 2007 ABA Grandnationals but reinjured the injury slightly in practice and sat out the Grands. He did race the NBL Christmas Classic on December 27, 2007 but didn't make the mains. Despite the constant pain he is in even just walking, he put off surgery on it to remove bone splinters to speed his recovery in time for the 2008 Olympics.[23] In definance of the pain, he was able to do relatively well during the 2008 racing season, including winning the Elite Men class at the NBL National in West Palm Beach, Florida on March 16, 2008.[24]

* Still maintaining Olympic hopes he was in training for the Summer Olympics at a track at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California. His Olympic dreams for making the 2008 team came to an end when he broke his right ankle in practice for the Olympic Trials on June 12, 2008.[25] Ironically, the training track is an exact replica of the Olympic BMX track that the BMX events for the Beijing Olympics would be held on. His crash was on the second straight. He had hoped that it was a bad sprain but the next day doctors confirmed the break and Harris withdrew his name from the Time Trial competition leaving only seven competitors.[26] On June 14, 2008 Harris saw his good friend Mike Day win the Olympic team Qualifying Trials and qualified for a sure slot on the USA BMX Olympic Team. He was cheering him on straight through. A few days after the Trials Harris had surgery to remove some of the floating bone chips left over in his left ankle from his severe August 20, 2007 dislocation. Harris intends to return to racing late August 2008 (ironically at approximately the same time the BMX events are scheduled to start in the Olympics) and stay in contention for the 2008 ABA pro title
