One of the things I love about the Olympics: during this two-week period you can be fairly certain to turn on the TV and -- between the stiff musings of Bob Costas -- be sure to check out great sports. Sometimes the events are ones with which Im replica watch gift familiar: basketball, swimming. Sometimes they are ones I have learned to take an interest: gymnastics. Sometimes I havent a clue: fencing or rhythmic gymnastics. But I love these completely foreign sports, too. The reason: this is a time when humans being humans is applauded loudly.
What could be more abstract than synchronized swimming? Will I be cheering for U.S. gold? You bet your bippy.Below are the top five Olympic moments from yesterday (or was it today ... who can keep track?). Is this my abstract, subjective view? No question. Can you write in and agree, disagree, and add to the list? We hope so.1) Phelps. NBC Ulysse Nardin replica watches owes this guy some dough. He took gold number six (200 IM). World record number six. He goes for number seven (100m butterfly) -- to tie Spitz -- tonight.2) Americans Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson take all-around gold and silver in the womens gymanstics.3) Tie for third: Chinas men take their first basketball game in these Olympics, beating Angola 85-68.
The U.S. basketball women crush Spain 93-55. Americans lose to Cubans in baseball (who watches Olympic baseball?).4) In tennis, James Blake loses to Fernando Gonzalez and has to settle for the bronze-medal match. 5) The controversy over Audemars Piguet replica watches the age of Chinese women gymnasts is not going away. And instinct says that if the combination of pride and a need for juicy story have anything to do with it, this will likely be around until something definitive is proven.Medal Count: U.S. 46; China 41--Alex Crevar
