And dang it if I didn't tear up again watching the relay and Phelps win his medal to make history again! Gosh did those boys fly to set themselves up for the win and him to be less stressed as the anchor with such a huge lead! Love that he told them to give him the biggest lead they could!

USA! USA! USA!

ETA: Sorry, no disrespect meant to all the other countries represented here on the board or competing in the Olympics! Just an overwhelming moment of national pride here!

I tried very hard not to give anything away when you asked, although inside I was like this: :Woah-hoo: !

You'd be a terrible contestant on the Bach, especially if you were the winner, LOL!!! giggling

Just looked up the schedule for tomorrow and there's so much to watch. My phone will be working overtime at work tomorrow as I try to keep track of it all.

P.S. I think my sig needs some revision. The Fab Five and Mr. Phelps deserve some love.

Your post was great! I knew from reading it that they did well and hoped it meant gold, but you gave nothing away! It calmed my nerves about going into it unspoiled! Thanks! I was spoiled for the guys and would have been heartbroken watching not knowing...it was hard enough watching knowing. Even if I'd found out tonights results, I'd have still watched! :giggle: BTW, it was really hard avoiding all the spoilers all over the internet!

But she'd be great to have here on the boards, after the season was wrapped and while we were sleuthing! She'd let us know without really saying it! Hugesmile

USA Fabulous Five and all the swimmers, just WOW! What a night it was!

I only wish NBC would show it earlier in the evening - it's hard to stay up late and still get up early!

It's hard to avoid spoilers - it means not checking on all the other news in the world, but last night I didn't mind being spoiled because it meant I was more relaxed watching all their performances.

So many great athletes from all around the world - they're all amazing!
