The games were far less interesting last night than any night thus far in my opinion... I realized this when I woke up on my couch at 2:AM after seeing only 3 rotations of the men's gymnastics.... at least I was awake long enough to see that Japanese dude eat shit on the rings of Danny Way proportions (X-Games reference... Yes, I'm also addicted to that.) Just trust me... he ate shit hardcore. A few observations...
- Some American chick won Gold in a Preliminary cycling race apparently. Huh? Sooo... you can win a medal before the actual fucking race? Yeah, whatever.. that's not even the issue. Her name is yada yada yada Artmstrong. Are you kidding me? Here's a suggestion for future generations.... if you're an adolescent and blossoming in let's say golf and your name is Tiger... fucking change it. Same applies for basketball and your name being Jordan... hockey and Gretzky. Save yourself some embarrassment of even coming close to measuring up. The upside... people that don't shit like myself will be blogging about you.
- US Beach Volleyball duo Misty May and Kerry Walsh have won 104 straight matches and have not lost a set in 10 Olympic matches. That is impressive. It's as dominant in their sport as Phelps is in the pool, Armstrong was on a bike and UCLA was in their 88 straight under Wooden.
- Speaking of May-Walsh, not gorgeous by any means yet I'm strangely attracted to them. Weird. Kinda like Sarah Silverman and Sarah Jessica Parker... don't find them hot but some power beyond my own makes me want to fuck them.
- Men's synchronized diving? Oh boy, I mean I'm sure it's difficult but is it really necessary? Not worth having to introduce your partner to people as well, your "partner." What are they hair dressers by day and roller blade for fun. And what's with the showering after dives? That makes about as much sense as taking a shit and then wiping your ass.
- The US stinks in diving. When the"angle of entry" misses and significantly damages the results it's time to change sports and the word perpendicular goes with synchronized diving about as well as the word teeth goes with blow job.
- NBC graphics? During a race that strangely the Chinese finished 1 and 2 a ball or drum was thrown into the picture and the pool. Until the commentators explained what it was I seriously thought it was a fantastic graphic of a splash or a large water drop. Very cool idea that if done correctly and not abused could be nice added touch to specific events... obviously the water events would be the easiest.

Found out some answers actually...
The divers shower after their dives because the water is really warm and it keeps their muscles loose and keeps them fresh.
And the slow swim done after the swimming events is to get rid of the lactic acid which has accumulated from the intensity of their event swim.
As an Exercise Physiology/Kinesiology Grad I knew the latter.... and should have predicted the prior.
