BTW...I was THRILLED to hear BILL CLEMENT reporting on the table tennis. He is one of the best in the business as far as I am concerned...and I'm not just saying that because he was a hockey player. He is such a good broadcaster that you forget he was once a darn good hockey player.

Can someone tell me did the US lose the basketball game today? Last I saw it, they were behind by 12 with about 6 minutes to go.

The basketball game between the USA and Puerto Rico was unbelievably disappointing. I was watching in 1972 when the US lost to Russia in an extremely controversial decision (The US has never accepted their silver medals and they still sit in a vault somewhere). I was so upset I pitched all the cushions off the sofa at the far wall of the living and amazingly...I hit it every single time! I was very upset when they came home with the bronze medal years later, because I knew they were capable of so much more, and held coach John Thompson personally responsible. I have yet to forgive him. Without a doubt, this performance was the most pathetic to date. I heard that there are something like 43 NBA players in these games...and only 12 play for the US. Tough. You still have to play like a team, make a valiant effort, and rise to the occasion. There is simply no excuse for this kind of talent to play this poorly. I would much rather watch amateurs play their guts out and do poorly than watch rich boy millionaires assume that will win just because they think they are the most talented team. On a much brighter note...The Iraqi soccer team has made it into the quarter finals by beating Costa Rica 2-0! The fans in the stands were very much behind the Iraqis. They have to be thrilled to be receiving that kind of support. Towards the end of the game...the fans would boo the Costa Rica team every time they got possession. They had to be thinking ..."What did we do to make this people not like us so much!" I feel asleep before NBC's "prime time coverage" was over and didn't get to see the semi-final swim between Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe. I don't intend to miss tonights final though! I can't wait to watch the Men's gymnastic competition. I sure hope Blaine Wilson has his head screwed on straight tonight. Go Paul Hamm!

Ladyt, he is a runner for the Dominican Republic. His name is Felix Sanchez and isn't he lovely? I had other pics of him, but in his singlet I decided he might be exxxxposing too much of himself for good taste here! LOL. Like I said in chat last night, you can tell what religion these guys are with their track uniforms.

I needed to know what they were mouthing... "Australian National Anthem" Australians all let us rejoice, For we are young and free; We've golden soil and wealth for toil; Our home is girt by sea; Our land abounds in nature's gifts Of beauty rich and rare; In history's page, let every stage Advance Australia Fair. In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia Fair. Beneath our radiant Southern Cross We'll toil with hearts and hands; To make this Commonwealth of ours Renowned of all the lands; For those who've come across the seas We've boundless plains to share; With courage let us all combine To Advance Australia Fair. In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia Fair.

Don't know if anyone posted this yet. I think its a live stream video. The commentators are Italian (thats what I was told on the site I got this from). But you can at least get the gist of the competition. http://www.fastweb.it/streaming/raisport.asx

Last night the men's swim team said that they had watched the movie "Miracle" and was inspired by it saying that "This was their time!". I can hope the basketball team would watch it as well and then maybe they will learn that "You don't have enough talent to win on talent alone." So glad to see that Coach Brooks continues to inspire. RIP Herb.
