....who descided that rule ofcourse the country winning hte most golds wil lsay only he g olds ocunt...and ofcourse the country with the most overall medals will say the most medals count

if you do it by score (gold=3, silver=2, bronze=1) I think the us might still be winning

Lightning-fast Bolt wins Olympic 100m usain bolt the man.

Phelps gets his 8th gold medal.

Oh really, that's interesting, what if you'd go by a score of Gold = 15, Silver = 7.8 , Bronze = 2 and just starting = 0.123.

Who's first then? hmm

It was pretty amazing. His mom was yelling "Come on Jason!" to the anchor of the team, and the fans at Raven's Stadium stayed after their expo game to see Phelps get it.

Also, the Redeem Team really put a hurt on Spain.

What does KMC think about the standard of judging so far?

Damn, GB scored a bunch of medals today 😑

Booya.

What events were they in? I missed today's coverage.

Yeah, I missed them too, mainly because I'm a pretty casual watcher of it. I've been keeping up to date on the medal count via this - http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/GL/95A/GL0000000.shtml

Gold=3, Silver=2, Bronze=1
Comes out as:
China: 186
USA: 165

Essentially China (81) has the roughly the same number of medals as the USA (83) except they simply have a G: S: B ratio of 3:1:2 instead of 1:1:1.

OMFG...

that gold medal, womans beach volleyball, match was the hottest thing i've ever seen. May and Walsh playing volleyball in the rain while wearing white bikini's OMG droolio

Bolt and Phelps make me go, "Woof!".

What do people think of the International Olympic Committee president's comments that Bolt shouldn't be show-boating after races out of respect to the rest of the field? Personally, I love it! He's so calm and relaxed before his races, and then he really enjoys the wins. I think that's a great way of encouraging kids to get involved in sport.

The thing is, Bolt makes everyone look stupid because he has abnormal talent, not because he celebrates wildly.

It's probably a bigger shame to get whooped that badly.
