  NBC on ignore for putting obscure events on cable TV only.

  Yeah, he bit the hurdle big time and tumbled. I felt bad for him.

  Dafne looks juiced, chick looks like an outside linebacker - no way can a white-chick be that fast w/o being juiced, IMO

  Falling over a hurdle is no small thing. The first time I tried hurdling, I caught my trading foot and went down - on a cinder track. I picked small stones out of my skin for a week on that one lol. On the Olympic track, I'd say a fairly bad friction burn would be likely.

  My tall, slim Russian long jumper made the finals but NBC didn't show it. Bastards.

  I saw some weightlifting early in the evening. I'm intrigued that all the elite lifters come from the same general area around the Caspian and Black Seas.
  
  Armenia, Georgia, Estonia, Iran. and all the "stan" counties.
  
  I've noticed in this Olympics just how much each area of the world excel in different sports.
  
  Weight lifters as noted
  Sprinters from the U.S. and Caribbean Islands
  Distance runners from East Africa
  Swimmers are generally whites from the U.S., Australia, and Europe
  Sports involving hand-eye coordination are usually Esst Asian
  Gymnastics are US, Eastern Europe and China
  
  The debate over whether its cultural or evolutionary & genetics fascinates me .
