I saw them. The Aussies are complaining about the distraction.

I think I will have to review the tapes a few hundred more times to make a decision.

Gay Olym,pics er... Team Diving.

Quote:
Security around the diving complex is being stepped up following the bizarre incident when a half-dressed spectator climbed onto a board at the diving competition and jumped into the pool. The man was wearing a tutu and extra-large clown shoes.
That wasn't a spectator. It was a participant looking for his partner.

Since none of you are watching:

Team Eventing - US Bronze
Individual Eventing - US Silver
Team Dressage - US Bronze

Individual Dressage: GO DEBBIE !!

Debbie McDonald of Hailey, Idaho, moved into contention for an individual dressage medal on Monday with an energetic, fault-free round on Brentina that scored 74.840 percent.
The ride moved her from fifth after the team competition on Saturday to fourth overall, with an average for the two days of 74.067 percent.
``I'm staying in the hunt,'' said McDonald. ``It's a long shot, but I'm not giving up.''

The United States hasn't won a medal in individual dressage since 1932. Which was won by Col. Hiram Tuttle
