At first I was annoyed i'd have to fast forward through all those track & field events (plus commercials), but now i'm glad I was forced to watch our country's finest make their way to Bejing! Suddenly, you watch some of these events (and learn what they are), then you really care who makes it!
The bonus of the night: best dive award goes to that girl in the 200 (running) that totally stumbled and DOVE across the finish line to earn that 3rd place/Olympic spot - it was amazing!!! I'm going to watch more track and field from now on!!!
If you missed it, I think it was before the swim events. Correct me if i'm wrong.
Were there any Outside Smokers (actual lane 1 or 8) in swimming make the team this year?
I enjoyed the track and field competitors as well as the swimming. Majorly impressed with the speed of the 1500 meters, and the men's race in that was very interesting. I guess shoving is legal.
