    The hungarian weighlifter made me have to look away from the screen. That looked incredibly painful and to happen knowing people all over the world are seeing you suffering :(

    Yes, I was very surprised by that! :eek: I lost my bet to my family that she'd definitely win gold... I guess we can never really predict these kinds of things, which happens to be a good thing, really. This way, we always have OMG's, there are always athletes getting better and better.

    I enjoyed the Olympics. I always enjoy the competition itself and just the athmosphere. Congratulations everyone.

    Good thing I try not to think much about my country's medals. Or else I'd be quite disappointed each day. But YAY, big achievement, Portugal got the 4th gold medal ever. :D Not on these Games, but ever since the Modern Games started. It is a big deal for us :lol: Congratulations Nelson Evora (triple jump)! Also, we got a silver medal on triathlon, congratulations Vanessa Fernandes. And that's it. There's really no way I could loose myself on the counting.

    I was a little miffed at the triple jump result.

    If ever Team GB were a dead cert for a gold medal in Track & Field....Phillips Idowu in the triple jump was it but he had to settle for Silver.

    Altough I guess we should be happy with our 19 other golds if that was p
    Portugals one and only gold lol

    Yes, that is a good way to see things ;):p This one gold means a lot to us, as a country, and more than it probably means to you, because it doesn't really make that much of a difference in your medal ranking.

    There has been interviews and special footage of Nelson every day now, actually. I feel bad that he has to answer the same questions more than once. :lol:

    We're normally better in the Paralympic Games, though. I'll keep my fingers crossed for all of our athletes.
