Olympic Thoughts

1. Micheal "Freaking" Phelps !

2. Usain "Lightning" Bolt: Bolt just went on cruise control and chest thumping the last 15 meters of the race. Amazing performance. He could have clocked under 9.6 seconds if he had ran the last 15 meters with the same intensity.

3. Bela Karolyi: Bela Karolyi is the NBC Olympics Gymnastics Analyst. Having said that, I did not hear any intelligent analysis from him. He was whining all the time. I understand that Gymnastics is a very subjective sport to judge and there have been some questionable scores/medals awarded to gymnasts. But, I get tired of hearing from Bela Karolyi on how American gymnasts where robbed of medals without any intelligent analysis from him. He should stick to coaching.

4. Rafael Nadal: Fantastic year for him. He has won French and Wimbledon along with the Olympic Gold in Men's Singles. One of those years for him.

5. Roger Federer: This is one of those years that he would like to forget. Having said that many players would like to have his accomplishments this year. He made it to the finals of all 3 grand slam events held so far this year along with the Olympic Gold in Men's Doubles.

6. Olympic coverage is stunning on high definition TV.
