Beijing Olympics - Day 10
The Great:
- Our men swept the 400m Hurdles. Way to go, USA! Bring back our Track & Field glory days! ;)
- Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh won their 107th straight beach volleyball game en route to a semifinal win that puts them in the gold medal game. You go girls!
The Should Have Been Great But Was Derailed By Stupid Scoring Rules:
- Nastia Luikin tied with a (13 year old*) Chinese gymnast for first place in the Uneven Bars standings, but because of a the most convoluted and ridiculous tiebreaker system known to man, she won the silver instead. Un-friggin-believable. Yet again, one of our girls was robbed. Ugh.
*I don’t care what they say. There is at least one girl, possibly two, on that Chinese team that are not 16 years old.

The girl is not even thirteen. Her face is too round and babyish for that. Nastia was robbed, totally. So much for the great equalizing scoring system. Ugh!
