yes watched it, the final leg was just awesome, but the womens 400m was even better , first womens swimming gold medal for GB in 48 years, and we got the bronze too, bloody amazing (and that was their second stream events,addlington is an 800m swimmer and jackson a 200m), just shows what funding can do for a sport.
Swimming is my favorite Olympic sport as I was a competitive swimmer in my teens. Getting up at 3am to watch it is a bit of a killer though.

Yeah those were great I was disapointed Hoff let up and got silver in that womens race she had that one.
The bike race was awesome as well very nice job to push it out there at the end.<

I usually don't watch many sport events on screen - except occasional Golf (and of couse, NE Patriots and Boston Red Sox games). but Olympics has been special. I always enjoy watching swimming and gymnastics... just amazing how atheletes these days get younger and better. For swimming, I used to be in a swimming team at high school and did short-distance competition, so I tend to watch swimmers' forms... looking for that perpect movements.. I realized Phelps shoe size is twice of mine, and China's He who won Gold in gymnastics is 5'3" - the same height as me - and weigh 35 pounds less: gosh, must be just bones/mustcles - no extra F in the body! This Olympics beside "politics" surrounded it before it opened, has been awesome.<
