Phelps seems to be a very gracious young man---of course, it is easier when you are that good :D

US Men's gymnastics faltered at the end, but still picked up a Bronze. Good for the young guys with two alternates taking the place of veteran competitors and bringing home a medal.

We unanimously decided that while Phelps might have a good physique .. his mouth is too big for his face :lol: :P

We were totally unimpressed with our television broadcast - three medal ceremonies while we were at lunch - all for USA .... we were just waiting for Leisel Jones ceremony - to all sing along in joy our anthem ... and lunch time ran out ..... and we had to get to a training session .....so we missed out - my staff that were waiting - all from other countries originally (India, Sri Lanka and Phillipines) were all ready to sing along with me - I was SO proud of them for adopting our anthem!

We did practice having a go at the US anthem ... quite poor was the singing 8) You could have picked a much easier song to carry no tune to :lol:

Thanks !! We were pretty nervous - we really wanted her to win after her disappointment in Athens!

We are going pretty well in the pool with medals considering our population V other countries! GREAT swimming!!!!

(though, rivalry has us hoping Phelps misses out on one of the planned gold :P )

Depends on the country playing ....

We get Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport and Down Under playing when the Aussies are on the sand!

I believe the teams pick their music.
