   Hayfa - yes the underdog, and no jerks!!  LOL!!.

This might be a political statement , not meant to be - I worry about the children that from a young age are separated from their familes to train, when they don't win.  Who do they fall back on?  Who shows them unconditional love of a parent?

Because of this I really wanted the Chinese team to win the team gold in gymnastics.

The Chinese can be very proud of the great Olympics they have put on.

Phelps in amazing!!

	true. Aust. slipped down to 6th place. Germany is in 5th place now, well, going by the gold medal telly otherwise we still in 5th place with 12 all in total . I actually continued watching the equestrian after logging off last night, it was all good, germany was gold again. One of their guys was doing everything perfect until the last jump and lost the individual medal, the same went for an aussie, all was perfect too until that last jump.
