Yea i've been watching the gymnastics all day today, it's the women's qualifiers tomoro so i'm very excited for thst! Beth Tweddle is expected to do really well on bars so I hope evrything goes well for her and England end up with a few gold medals  I watched some of the Horse-riding today too, the dressage part. I think Australia did quite well in that! |

yeah, I try to watch as much as possible too, but I had a competition myself today, so I missed the eventing!
I didn't saw that rowing, but I saw the Cycling on the road and Judo, the one with the dutch guy in it.
It's great, just too bad that it has such a big time difference!

I just found the scedules for the whole olympics of all the sports: results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/Schedule/index.shtmlAnd just the (probably) best site for all the news: en.beijing2008.cn/You can set it on english if it isn't set on it yet! haha. I love this so much!! And I also found out that tomorrow, well, tonight, there is a dutch guy who starts individual in the eventing, too bad it's in the middle of the night at my time! I hate time difference!! |

Girls, congratulations on the first golden medal with cycling!! The Road game was great and I hate that Vos became 6th instead of first like everyone thought in the beginning. But it went the way it went.
But we got our first golden medal too! The dutch girls won the estaffette(sp?) with swimming!! yeah!!

Thanks Kris!!
haha.
I would like to watch that, but they don't sent it out here... weird! My father is watching it live on our tv, but I haven't seen it yet. And I'm afraid they won't because the netherlands soccer team has to play in a few, so probably they are going to send that out...

Yea, the Netherlands didnt have a team competing i don't think. Britain came 9th tho and only top 8 qualify for finals  Beth Tweddle and Becki Downie got through as individuals tho so i'm still gonna be supporting them. |

Yeah, I don't think we have a team, but we do have some individual girls there (haha, it's just on tv now, so I know! haha) so I hope they get into the finals! And I hope that Downie does it good for you too!!! |

Well today Andy Murray got beat in Tennis so he won't be in the finals.
We won two more medals in female swimming tho, Gold and Bronze with America in Silver.
I think that the rider for great Britain is doing ok in the horse jumping - he was 3rd the last time i heard from that event.
