Women's basketball... Under two minutes left in the first half they were up 48-46 against Japan.

The rest of the way... 62-18. That was impressive even for them.

Men's 10km swimming got a lot if ties. Gold and silver winners had the same time. Bronze winner and the fourth place same time too.

Bolt still cruising along to an easy qualifier in his first 200 meter heat, jogged a 20.28.

Most shocking today was Iran's Behdad Salimi in weightlifting. Set an unbelievable world record in the snatch, but bombed all of his clean and jerk lifts.

Dafne Schippers to the final 200m, i think she can win it.

Track and field has always been my favorite sport, but watching the Olympics, it's a pleasure seeing so many hot guys and ladies competing.

Almost time for the women's 1500 final. Jenny Simpson is running and she's won a gold and a silver in world championships.

Jenny Simpson for the bronze! First female American to medal in 1500.

I was surprised to see dibaba not get the gold.

My wife was cheering for her (Hassan). She said "that lady runs awkward, like how I would run."
