I mean BMX bicycling? We rode around on those when we were kids.

The russians that don’t really get a long, but work together perfectly — the olympian with the fake leg diving — gotcha– anyway-it has been very interesting… my hmmmmm=I DO miss seeing a perfect 10 in the gymnastics though… that has been a little disheartening.. i don’t know what a 15 is? I do know – it is not a perfect 10.

The Invisible Me high-fived your comment about trampoline as an Olympic Sport. I.had.no.idea. until this year.

Who thinks we should make pancake flipping an Olympic sport? I do. Gold, please.

Amanda, oh you’re missing out on synchronized diving.

MikeT – I believe you.

Dennis, you could so win the gold in curling.

Linda, we probably could’ve built New Orleans with that kind of money!

Sharon, don’t sell yourself short. I know you could flip. I just know you could. I’ve watched you play softball. You’ve got the sport in ya.

Watching Michael Phelps has been the most exciting thing summer television has to offer. He is amazing!! I have also enjoyed watching the US womens beach volleyball. They have won 107 straight games. Wow! But I must say I am with you on the whole trampoline thing. I don’t know that I could do flips (but that is because I am a scaredy cat). This is the last year for softball and baseball but they are keeping trampoline. What??? I mean really… is this sport Olympics worthy? I don’t think so.

Seems to me that some of that could have helped many people. Too practical I quess!!!

Curling. I mean sweeping those little brooms in front of a big sliding puck that has a handle on ice. Give me a break!
