Yesterday i watch the cycling marathon(woman) . They cycled in the rain for like 3 hours plus plus ( 126 km ! ) Nicole Cooke from great britain won the Olympic gold medal , she took 3 hrs 32 mins 24 s [;
The 25-year-old's stunning late charge secured Team GB's first gold medal at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

There was this part of the race where a korean woman tries to overtAke then somehow , she fell . Guess what , they cycle as a grp then she fall into the drain(shallow) then 4 other cyclist fell too !
Another part : this cyclist , she wasnt with the peloton , she was behind . There was alot of up slope and down slope then at one down slope turn , she bicycle glide and she went right into the drain ... damn pain lahs . its a deep drain ! practically , her whole person is in the drain . Cos of the rain , some didnt complete .
Tao Li got 5th in her finals [; Oh ! Michael phelps and his team won their 4x100m relay [; its a race so fast it actually erased two world records ! 3.8.24 mins ! ( damn fast )
Only 25 meters to go, half the length of the pool. Every stroke brought Lezak a little closer, a little closer, a little closer, his body seemingly carried along by the Frenchman's massive wake. The two lunged for the wall together. When the result flashed on the board, Phelps was still on course for his record eight gold medals.
Oh, by the way, Phelps set an American record leading off, 47.51. But it was Lezak's anchor that everyone will remember. He got down and back in a staggering 46.06, the fastest relay leg in history though it doesn't count as an official record.
China Guo Jingjing/wu minxia won the three-meter synchronized springboard event ! Gold medal [;Guo and Wu, who were also the current world champions, combined for a score of 343.50. The Russian tandem of Julia Pakhalina and Anastasia Pozdnyakova captured the silver medal with 323.61, while Germany's Ditte Kotzian and Heike Fischer won the bronze medal with 318.90.
I think the gymnas are damn good and they loook damn young !WOMEN'S GYMNASTICS
China 248.275 points
United States 246.800 points
Russia 244.400 points
Famed U.S. Olympic gymnastics coach Bela Karolyi is not a fan of little girls. At least not ones who can beat his team in the Olymics. Karolyi is raising a fuss about the ages of the Chinese gymnast, claiming that they do not appear to be the competition legal age of 16. Clearly the world's most famous gymnastics coach is forgetting that NONE OF THE GYMNASTS LOOK 16.bye bye .. i off to the tvvv[;
