Great to see a new women from the USA win a gold, and again phelps just taring it up.

[PierBridge]

Simply FANTASTIC tonight!

Last night was the 1st time I saw Phelps swim and the guy is amazing. He was behind at 1st then on the way back the guy just blew everyone away. I hope I can see a few more of his wins this weekend while I am up at Leech Lake. They were saying that he was more gold medals this year then I think it was 50 countries in the olympics.

[bassNspear]

it was great to see the USA Girls win it all last night. Gold and silver. They had a great night out there.

[dan z]

these olympics are getting better every night I watch I am wacthin kayaking right now did not now it was even in the olympics

[bassNspear]

lol, i wish i was at home so i could watch it during the day.

[PierBridge]

You're not missing much unless you like Baseball and Homerun's by the USA in the 8th inning to TIE the Game up against the defending GOld Medal Champion Cuban's!....

[UdeLakeTom]

Tami voted kayaking into the Olympics.

[PierBridge]

That is the most amazing thing I've ever seen in the Olympics.

How did Phelps do that he was behind by 3 feet with 3 inch's to go!!!!!!!'s

[DTro]

That was crazy!

I have to say that Mark Spitz in the interview afterwards was a major class act. It's like Costas kept trying to incite a rivalry or some animosity, but Spitz would have no part of it.

[bassNspear]

that last 50 that phelps swam last night was amazing in itself. it was out of the park awesome.

[so haaad]

Too bad for Duluth native Kara Goucher. She ended up getting 10th in the 10k. She still has the 5k left.

[bassNspear]

hopefully she can pull it off. it would be awesome to see her get a medal!!

[Dark Cloud]

I have been camping in Canada this past week haveing Olympic withdrawls, no electric or TV. I watch as much as I can. I enjoy it all minus the long distance running. And of course that was a big chunk of the primetime coverage tonite...

[bassNspear]

Well, Phelps did it again tonight, and is now the record holder for the most golds in one season with 8. THe guys is a stud, and what i like about him the most is that he is always about his teammates, and how they push him to win. Thats what is awesome with him, hes not always about himself.

Phelps...AWESOME

And we have a local who has brought home the medals. Christine Magnuson in womens swimming is from the next town over from here. She went to school with my kids, pretty cool to see interviews from one of our local restaurants where they were having an Olympic party for her while she swam, and won! Pretty cool stuff.

[bassNspear]

thats a awesome thing. I am happy for all the USA team members that have won medals. We are rocking the Nation

[bassNspear]

Im glad that girls did it agian tonight on the floor. I was really hoping that they would go 1-2 instead of 2-3. I was hoping that Shawn would have recieved gold, but im sure shes pumped she got silver.

Did you see the mens 100 meter (track and field) Saturday night?

That dude from Jamaica(Maan!)won by atleast 15' which is almost unheard of in that sport. He started to slow and coast at about 85 meters and still won by 15' and he shattered the world record to boot (9.68). That has to be one of the most pure athletic talents that i have seen...he had no super suit to put an asterick by his name either. Not saying that Phelps will have an asterick, but when they can wear these new suits, how can you compare that to the same records that were done by people swimming in spedo's only?

[PierBridge]

No kidding Mule and throw the fact he just started doing the 100 Meter dash recently this guy is a FREAK!

I'm assuming he's a Lock in the 200!

[bassNspear]

ya, the guy is a freak. Hes tall and fast as heck.

[ozzie]

"Lightning" Bolt is amazingly fast....I heard a week or so ago about this race and how the WR could fall and someone might go under or hit the 9.8 mark......he did it easily in 9.69...WOW!!! Imagine if he cold catch a football.......

[dan z]

if you threw him a football he expect something round not obblong. he is fast to say the least coasting and still broke the record OMG!

[ozzie]

true he might expect something else but show him the potential money he could make and I think he would try to catch a football.....he wouldn't have to worry about getting hit he'd run right by them.........LOL

[dan z]

that boy is sure running for it. run you SOB run had to say it watched forrest gump lastnight
