what else? what sports have been goin on? and what happened with phelps and swimming?

Swimming, gymnastics, water polo (US beat Montenegro), soccer, field hockey, archery, synchronized diving. I don't think Phelps has won anything.

What the heck is this rule where only to team members can make it to the finals for the all-around in gymnastics? The defending world champ places fourth overall but misses out on the final because two other US members have better scores? So they let in 20 (freaking 20 people) that aren't as good have a shot at gold?? That is like saying three teams in the AFC North can't qualify for the playoffs. There is a limit of 2 per year.

Ageeed. The rule really makes absolutely 0 sense. It's the Olympics! They need to let the best perform for the medals no matter the country they come from. And to make matters worse she was the WORLD CHAMPION in the all-around. How can you justify a rule that doesn't let her defend her title when she EARNED the right to, placing 4th overall?

Agreed. Doesn't make any sense.
