I watched a T and F competition from Europe today. It was great.

I laughed when I saw the javelin throw.

After a throw I notice this little buggy come out on the grass with a javelin on it.

Later on the close up is of a tiny VW Bug that a guy is controlling from the sideline. They use it to take back the javelins to the athletes.

The women's high jump was fun to watch!

I heard that two U.S. women athlete's suffered broken bones in the tune-ups.
A soccer player broke her leg and a gymnast broke her ankle. All that work and to have that happen.

This is the last year for woman's softball in the Olympics. This really stinks-especially when they put in stupid sports like bicycle moto cross. There already are annual extreme sports competitions for them, Why do they need the Olympics? I do like to watch people stuff their heads into the dirt when they do the bike/motorcycle stunts, but 30 seconds riding a bike in the dirt isn't any where near 'olympian'.
