I've heard they might be getting rid of softball, but basketball?! That's a marquee sport! That would be like getting rid of hockey in the winter games.
Americans are kicking ass in swimming, but it was also cool to see Australian Stephanie Rice crush the 400 world record.

UM, I think it's baseball that might be going. I don't think they're even doing it this time around!

Okay, most of these sports have been intersting for at least a round or tow, but I just cannot get into water polo. Sue, you're right, it is baseball, I misread the post. But I thought I saw it on the schedule this year, I could be wrong though.

Yeah a Brit won that one. Does anyone know who won the Mens RoadRace?
Here are the list of olympic sports:
ALL SPORTS Archery, Badminton, Baseball, Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Boxing, Canoe/Kayak, Cycling, Diving, Equestrian, Fencing, Field Hockey, Gymnastics, Handball, Judo, Modern Pent., Rhythmic Gym., Rowing, Sailing, Shooting, Soccer, Softball, Swimming, Sync. Swimming, Table Tennis, Taekwondo, Tennis, Track & Field, Trampoline. Triathlon, Volleyball, Water Polo, Weightlifting, Wrestling
Looks like Baseball is still in but have u guys seen Trampoline? I remember seeing it 4 yrs ago and it's funny.
Water polo is cool--just like soccer in water but they have to have some kind of discipline or something to keep afloat.
Ok here are the medals count--US and China have 8 each!
CHN 6 2 0 8 USA 2 2 4 8 KOR 3 2 0 5 ITA 1 2 1 4 RUS 0 3 1 4

I think it was that guy from Spain.
My problem with water polo was that it was hard to see what was going on, and they seemed to be moving slowly. I watch alot of football (I'm watching it now, in fact!) and basketball so I'm used to fast paced games.
Women's gymnastics tonight, that should be good with the tight competition between the US and China.

OK...no way do some of those Chinese gymnasts look 16!
On the other hand, a lot of female gymnasts look like they're about 12. It's hard to tell. But they're really good.

George Bush is talking to Bob Costas right now. He just said America doesn't have any problems.
Oy vey!! Of course none of the Americans HE knows have any problems. They're all multimillionaires!!!
