I know, just typing what popped in my head...its too early to connect rational thoughts. You're right though.

T&F is being "punished" for the embarassment NBC felt when Marion Jones turned out to be a doper after they'd hyped her so heavily in Sydney. :eek:

Loudest cheer yet
How do you get the loudest cheer from the post-Liu Xiang Olympic crowd? You have not one, but two Chinese athletes compete at the same time. Li Yanfeng just threw the discus at the same time that Gao Shuying pole vaulted. Monstrous ovation.

China loves Isinbayeva
During pole vault introductions, the crowd let out a roar for Russia's Yelena Isinbayeva.
