Anybody watch the synchronized swimming? That has to be one of the hardest sports doing acrobatics and holding your breath! Russia did an awesome job. U.S. finished 4th or 5th. Anyway, that is one of my favorite sports to watch during the Olympics.
I watched some of it and the abilities they have are amazing. But after a while, I got tired of watching. Not really an attention grabbing event.

i watched the wrestling, Basketball, baseball, softball....well basically anything i could except the equastrian. Happy the way the basketball team represented they made all of us look good considering they were all black. Love the way Micheal Phelps repped for Bmore and the rest of the states, all in all i think the US athletes did a good job.
I tried to understand the equestrian events but I couldn't understand it. I needed an interpreter...canter left...half trot...extended gallop canter right.

The really enjoyed watching the Olympics this year. The United States won 110 medals, which is very impressive. I am looking forward to the 2012 Olympics in London, England.
Now that it's over, USA has the most medals and China has the most golds. Who do you say did better? US or China?

China did an excellent job. However, I think the USA did better overall. The USA won more medals in the events without the human element(Judges), which sometimes lead to controversy.

Good Point! Scoring in gymnastics was shaky for the US and Boxing was just horrible for EVERYBODY!
