hot damn.
the puerto rico team beat the over inflated ego of the men's team in a preliminary round of basketball in the olympics.
in other olympics news..
paul hamm qualified first in the men's all around in gymnastics, and both the men's and women's gymnastics teams qualified for the team final.
swimming going along well. michael phleps won the first gold medal for the men, the women got the silver in their first relay.
the usa women's basketball team trounced new zeland, the women's softball team is moving along nicely, as with the women's soccer team.
nationalism. yeah, during the olympics i have it. well, i will admit i root for ethiopia in their events. and maybe the occasional brit and aussie, canadian too. but really, most of these athelets are not highly paid, they give their heart and soul to their sport for so so incredibly long.. its heartening to see such dedication. through the good days and bad days, through awful and great competitions.. they find a way to move forward. i really admire them. i really do.
