After which race richard? I didn't see that. The last race was the relay and they were all holding the flag for pictures.

Dangit. I had a story and now I forget what it was lol

OOOOH I remember.

the US women's beach Volleyball team May-Treanor/Walsh. Did anyone hear the story about Misty May's mom passing away in 2002 from Cancer? So when she went to Athens she brought a little pill bottle with her moms ashes in it to spread in the sand on the volleyball court if they won gold. She plans to do the same again if they win gold. and she has a nice little tattoo of her mom's initials with angel wings and a halo. I thought that was very touching.

ETA: Did anyone watch any of the women's marathon? We only watched the last half hour because I really don't need to see the full 2 1/2 hours of running. anyway romanian Tomescu-Dita is 38 years old and took the gold with a formidable lead for the last half hour of the race... and then continued to jog around the track multiple times with her flag on her back. I would have dropped dead and they would had to carry me out of there. Good for her.
