- no they changed it to show mens earrings instead :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Aug 3, 07:47

  - I saw them early on during qualifying but not during the all-around the other night. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 07:21 10

      - Yeah -- and they ignored the girl in 4th place until they *had* to show her; and then no score. - Will Hunting Aug 3, 07:28 2
        
        Yup. They show a minute or two of everyone staring up waiting for the score and then they don't tell us what it is. - Krusty Aug 3, 07:31 1
        
        If they need help in doing a split screen, I'm sure they can talk to the sports-entertainment guy on the USA Network - Vince has only been doing that - Will Hunting Aug 3, 07:34

        I woke up too late. -- (link) - znufrii, missing an arm Aug 3, 07:28 [Backboard]
        
        I had to go look up the final scores. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 07:27 2
        
        and then there's the whole matter of them skipping over this -- (link) - znufrii, missing an arm Aug 3, 07:28 1
        
        *smh* They did a poor job with the gymnastics coverage this year. We barely got to see the other countries. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 07:35

ST, what do you think of this hotel? -- (link) - ty97 Aug 3, 07:14 8
- �130 for a night that close to the Seine in something that's not a hostel is a pretty good deal. -- nm - spamlet Aug 3, 07:37 5
  - It will be 165 for my dates (so 200 US) but still seems not bad for the locaiton. -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 07:42 4
    - That's not too bad. And you can go over toward Notre Dame and eat at the fantastic little restaurant - Jim Aug 3, 07:45 1
      - or go west to Les Halles and get some amazing stuff and strong coffee :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Aug 3, 07:50

- *gives Kate Upton the gold medal* nm -- nm - groiny Aug 3, 07:39 1
  - Even after she knocks herself out? - The Dark Spawn Aug 3, 08:13
- Sport IS fun....well it should be -- nm - Danedukenuuk Aug 3, 07:03
- it's one of the headscratchers for me as well. that, and dressage, which I find absolutely fascinating, but have no idea why it's still in there. -- nm - znufrii, missing an arm Aug 3, 07:01 6
  - Other than the obstacle course I find the horse stuff to be the most boring events. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 07:07
  - HORSE DANCING! -- nm - Dress Aug 3, 07:03 4
    - *insert JEGAR joke here* -- nm - Strongbad Aug 3, 07:15
    - I know, but it still just looks cool to me, to be able to make a horse do that. -- nm - znufrii, missing an arm Aug 3, 07:12 2
      - i just like yelling HORSE DANCING! -- nm - Dress Aug 3, 07:22 1
        
        heh. -- nm - znufrii, missing an arm Aug 3, 07:38
- Sure it is. And a tough one too. -- nm - Dress Aug 3, 07:00 19
  - I'm sure it's not easy but it's still not much of a sport. - Krusty Aug 3, 07:06 18
    - It doesn't seem much different than diving to me - Guigue Aug 3, 07:10 3
      - this -- nm - Dress Aug 3, 07:21
      - Maybe if they did the trampoline in water, it would be more of a sport. or in bikinis...yes, trampoline in water with bikinis. -- nm - Jim Aug 3, 07:11 1
        
        *wild applause* Greatest idea in the Olympics ever. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 3, 07:35
    - Maybe I'm just an old curmudgeon...but I don't even like that they make the floor exercise floor all springy. - Jim Aug 3, 07:07 13
      - Maybe, grandpa? -- nm - spamlet Aug 3, 07:11 4
        
        And the only professionals that could be in the Olympics were Russian... -- nm - Jim Aug 3, 07:12 3
        
        And the East German women were bigger and hairier than American men -- nm - Jim Aug 3, 07:13 2
        
        That's still true. -- nm - spamlet Aug 3, 07:38 1
        
        Whew...glad to see EVERYthing hasn't changed. -- nm - Jim Aug 3, 07:44
      - Agreed. I don't like the bouncy floors and I have no idea what happened with the scoring. I think they changed the scoring to try and prevent biased - Krusty Aug 3, 07:10 6
        
        I thinkit's more a way to account for differing levels of difficulty in the routines, which makes sense to me. -- nm - znufrii, missing an arm Aug 3, 07:19 4
        
        I think it's this and what I mentioned. They had problems with scoring and they seem to have fixed it. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 07:25 3
        
        Depends on your definition of "fixed". If by "fixed" you mean, it's more fair and the true winners will emerge...ok, fine. if by "fixed" you mean... - Jim Aug 3, 07:36 2
        
        Anything that can make things less subjective in judging, I'm all for. - Will Hunting Aug 3, 07:47
        
        I mean more fair and at the same time it's also more confusing. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 07:45
        
        ALL GLORY TO FLOOR ROUTINE BY HYPNOTOAD -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 07:18
