Day   7   Thursday   8/19/04

Carly! Carly! Carly!

Noticed NBC was careful of the wording on the graphic for Women's Weighlifting..."Snatch" was in pretty small letters.

Nickname of the day - Babeezee - a Brazilian boxer - I didn't hear his real name.

Yao Ming has no supporting cast...most of his teammates are young and inexperienced so China will go nowhere this year.

Amanda Beard gets her individual gold...hooray!!! Have been rooting for this cutie since she was a 14 year-old prodigy in Atlanta 1996.

Channel surfing - UPN WWE Smackdown! - Rey Mysterio comes to the aid of an outnumbered Eddie Guerrero.

Channel surfing - ESPN ---oops they are showing the Olympic results already...

M.I.A. - Summer Sanders, who did Scholatic at the olympics last time. I would love to see her do anything, anytime.

Costas half quip - "May and Walsh wil be trying to stay picture perfect..." Misty and Kerrie are always picture perfect, on and off the court.

Olympic Moments feature of the Greek Baseball team, made up of mostly Americans of Greek descent...A clip with Harry Carey singing "Take Me out to the Ball Game" with Greek subtitles

Appropriate music for the womens gymnastics tease - Clear and Present Danger by James Horner

It seemed that the Aaron Peirsol DQ controversy was solved in just a few minutes if you watched tv. How long did it really take?

Good Sportsmanship Award - Marcus Rogan (AUS) who would have won the Gold Medal if the Peirsol DQ held up, instead was a staunch supporter of Peirsol in the protest.

Medal count for Djibouti - 0
