11th career, 6th at the games.
NOTE: I hate that right after Ryan Lochte's medal ceremony, they cut to a shot of Michael training in the back, and getting a massage... twice.

Okay so I'm confused about the whole "live" thing. Since it obviously already happened...but when I'm watching it at about 10pm they tell me that it is "live"

She is from the bay area! And swam for CAL! And is one of the assistant coaches for them. And she kicked butt in the 100m back.

Yeah I would have rather watched more of Lochte and Piersol with their medals than Phelp's butt jiggling around. |

Hi Ashley!! Good to see you around! I was just asking about you the other day! :)
I was thinking about that as well...but I think he can win all eight. He's so dominant! I was really excited for him last night!! He was amazing, but this race was a little closer than the others. I was on the edge of the couch going "Come on, Phelps! Come on, Phelps!" through the whole race, lol!
Off topic, but YaY for Nastia Liukin winning Gold in the all-around women's gymnastics competition last night! I liked her style much better than her teammate Shawn Johnson. She's much more graceful and ballerina-like. I fell asleep before the floor exercises, so I was really surprised that we beat out the Chinese when I woke up this morning! It looked like the judging was really unfairly lopsided in favor of the Chinese girls for a while there.
By the way, how old are those Chinese girls?? Wasn't there some controversy about them being too young? They look like they're eight years old. |

LOL! I don't find him attractive at all. I mean, he's not a bad looking guy or anything...and his body is insane, but look at how he's build. It's almost freakish! haha...they were saying he has the upper body of someone who is like 6'8" and the legs of a 6'0" man. It helps him to swim faster because he has more upper body strength and less drag from long legs. Oh, and he's got size 14 feet he can use like flippers. |

where are you from? bc it could be live. 10pm EST is 10am in China, so what we get at night, is live from the next day in China
Nikki, they think some of the gymnasts are 15 and some are as young as 9 or 10!! |

I read an article yesterday about this. It's live for Eastern and Central. The article was saying some are criticizing NBC for saying it's live when it's not for the west coast. Their point was they can do these amazing graphics but they can't remove the word live?? Or at least add "previously recorded"? |

| You have to be 16 in the calendar year of the Olympics to compete, for gymnastics, or at least that's what the announcers said. They said they suspect some of the Chinese are not 16, but all of their passports say they are at least 16... so yeah. That's that. |
