    Thank you pll, I was wondering how badly he got hurt. I also hope he is able to race the TT. I also hope we get decent coverage of the TT.

    I'm never saying TT again! From now on I'll say "contre-la-montre."
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    Watching women's rowing (skull?)...

    Doesn't "Gentle Liam" shine up nice?

    I don't want to hear our anthem unless I can hear everyone else's when they win. It's disrespectful to only play ours.

    Off my soapbox.

    Personally I'd rather hear anyone's national anthem than all the little stories they do. Those things annoy me to no end. I want to see the events. I do NOT want to see back stories. Tell me something relative while watching the event fine, but I don't care one little tiny bit about watching a back story.

    +1 on redrhodie and koronin

    I like the medal/anthem ceremonies, but if its focused on the US, not so much. The athlete profiles should be online, on demand features, not an interruption from live coverage. [But then, how would NBC justify sending so many people to London, including several talking heads that do not know about any sport?]

    Watching the women's race now.

    ETA: It seems Specialized "uniformed" its riders' bikes, both in the men's and the women's races -- anyone riding a Specialized bike has a bright red one.
