no, i'm really talking about volleyball. (and, erm, also swimming.)
The beach volleyball was cool. That Swiss guy seems like a real dick, and it's not nice but I'm glad he lost.
HOLY CRAP DID YOU SEE THAT 100 FLY. HOLY LIVING CRAP, THAT PHELPS KID IS CHARMED. .01. The other guy really should have won. Finish was too long. Gave the Phelp time for another half-stroke, and he's got enough class to use the word "lucky" to describe his touching the wall first. (And did you see his mother just about faint from surprised?)
[eta: ~snort~ And the Serbian coach filed a protest, and FINA said (essentially) Oh, sit down. Heh. I mean, I guess I get where they're coming from when they try to ding 2004!Piersol for a bad turn in the 200 back (remember? and 2004!Rogan, who'd come in second, said "No way, man, go argue with them, your race was clean" -- or, put another way, "Dude, not a chance, you totally beat me", which is why we love Markus Rogan), but when there's a timer in there that can discriminate to two decimal places, how can you protest a finish?]

no subject
And even in the slow-motion recap I can't understand how Phelps moved his arms from way out to the side to in front of him before the Serbian swimmer glided to the wall. Oh and I <3 mama Phelps.
