I have to say I was watching track and field and saw a Jamaican athlete running with his flag all twisted around...I kepy yelling, "Straighten it out!!!"


Did anyone watch the gal from Europe fall during the hurdles?
I felt so bad for her and thought about the Mexican wrestling mask!
The Swedish hurdler - she's pretty, so they had a long close-up of her before the race and talked about her ... I did feel bad for her, but loved that the Jamaican hurdler afterwards went to to her as she was leaving the stadium and told her to hold her chin up, these things happen, and not to feel too badly. THAT was good sportsmanship, IMHO.
