Other Olympic Observations

[pll]

Any idea why there is MTB and BMX but no cyclocross at the Olympics?

I just watched he gold medal match in basketball. Spain played well! It's great to see that the US was put under pressure. And the celebration of the US players after the game was also great to see.

ETA: One random observation - the Chinese sports brand Li-Ning has made significant inroads in an industry that was dominated by Nike, Adidas and Puma. Spain's basketball team was wearing Li-Ning uniforms (and their warm up suits are tacky, IMO). However, I was most shocked by seeing the US diving team wearing Li-Ning gear.
