WORST OLYMPICS EVER....maybe not but this one definitely hurt my soul!

Perhaps only because I am so emotionally invested!

On a good note... the woman's basketball team (love em...Diana Taurasi...absolutely love her, and Sylvia fowles is a beast, if she hadn't gotten hurt this season in the WNBA, MY GAWD.ROOKIE OF THE YEAR!!!! Really, she is -just athletic! Which is why I am a huge Phoenix mercury and Chicago sky fan, they are, in my opinion, naw, its a fact, they are thee most athletic teams! Anyway go USA! and go Becky Hammon-I wish the media would-kick rocks! Track folks switch countries all the time, its about seizing the moment, if an opportunity knocks, loudly, open the DAMN DOOR! We have coaches who are imported as well as those who export, American Athletes who are trained by "others", and "others" trained by Americans, its no big deal! Its like any other business in the world, the Olympics is no different! It's about a dream, and of course money!

NOW ON TO TRACK and FIELD!!!!

DAMN,DAMN,DAMN IT

I guess you could tell I'm a bit perturbed? Not so much, as my feelings being hurt!

I wanted to vomit when LOLO hit that hurdle! I couldn't wait, so I went online and saw that she got 7th and was like "ehhhhhhhhhhh, the hell, not possible. She had to have hit the hurdle!" I sent her a text! Later that night I watched and wanted to vomit! That hurt, ME! She's an amazing girl, and she will overcome this. I can only offer her the same support she offered me when she realized I didn't make the team! But ohhhh that race hurt my soul, yet congrats to Harper!

Mr. Wallace spearman,no words! That was probably the worst moment ever in the Olympics! The worst meaning the most painful experience! To have won the bronze, after an amazing push the last 7 meters, to have ran that race from lane 9, to have run your victory lap, with your flag -enjoying it with your buddy bolt, only to find out that your were DQ, and for us to witness the moment he was told he had been DQ'd. Again, I wanted to vomit, man he was so hurt, you can just feel it!

Allyson Felix-she has yet to have run her final, but visibly she is hurt! I adore her and Marshavette Hooker (good people), I don't know Muna Lee, but I wish them the best tomorrow, and our 4x100 relay does not stand a chance withOUT Marshvette Hooker!

Tyson Gay not making the finals,for those who didn't know he pulled/tore the hell out of his hamstring at Olympic trials in the 200m, definitely not 100% at Olympics, but he did give it a go and never complained!

Congrats to Sheena Tosta, great job sweetie!

Woman's long jump is tomorrow, which will be hard for me to watch! But I absolutely love grace Upshaw, and I am a fan or Portugal's Nadie Gomes, I was shocked and upset she didn't get to the finals! So, GO Grace (USA) and Jade Johnson (UK)!!! And our 4x00 relay team, as good as GOLD- i PRAY

NOW IF THE USA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM LOSES TO RUSSIA TOMORROW, I WILL BOYCOTT THE REST OF THE OLYMPICS, ASSUMING I AM JUST A CURSE!

Dood I couldn't agree with you more, track in Beijing has been a real heart breaker. I was stoked to see the drama unfold prior to, with all the potential for peeps to shine and the monumental rivalries that were being built, but never imagined things playing out like this. All the disappointments with the individual performances and then both relay team drop the baton, ouch. It's seems our squad has been jinxed. Hopefully the best is yet to come

Man...like I said, there's some kind of hex on the US team. Man!! What's really going on?!

On a brighter note, the US women beat Russia in bball. But that's no surprise. And I couldn't agree with you more about Hammon.

I thought Allyson Felix gating was a little off. You couldn't notice it from the front or side. But, when they showed a view from the back, she was clearly laboring to one side.

Now, you get back to work!! See you in 2012
