^^^ Very nice.


I've been watching some of the 1 hour recaps and it has been interesting. I wish they would explain the categories better because some of them are hard to tell.

A couple of more than impressive things I've seen was the archer with no arms and same thing with one of the swimmers. Unbelievable.

I was jazzed that Pistorius made the Olympics.  But after what he said during the paralympics, he's a douche in my eyes.  Loser.

I watched this race last night and have to agree. Sore loser.  I will say though, the guy that won really turned it on in the second half.

Here is the race > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9Wlp1sTnoY

Found out that Youtube is streaming a lot of the games.
