our coverage sucks.  5 1/2 hours of coverage will be shown after it's all over.

36th position in the medals table in Atlanta 1996 with only one gold medal. Steady investment and improvement since then til 4th in the table behind USA china and Russia in Beijing was the best I thought we could possible do. Now this time we have 27 gold medals already and it looks like we will finish third. Blimey.

Until a stray pole flew our way and we had to scramble out of its way.

Wonderful story, that 16-year-old from Guam who finally finished the 10k swim today. Refused to quit. That's what makes the Olympics special. And, of course, Pastorius.

 
And an American finished a race with a broken leg today.

Yes, pathetic. You're likely poking a "little" bit of fun at us. That's okay. I loved Bill Maher's tweet recently that stated how thrilled he was that the USA was beating everybody "in gym class". Not exactly a tough task, I believe he was suggesting. Anyway ... not staying up nights worrying about it, and neither are you, surely.

Funny old boats, the Star. Over a hundred years old, and a weird damned shape, tiny jib and enormous main. Saw a nice early example in the Maritime Museum in Stockholm a couple of years ago.

 
..like I said..sorry bout that..we would have been just as happy for the silver..{#Wink}.(looking over the shoulder.."Who said that ?")

The Star sure is a classic !
