IIRC they don't start the race till both of them go full out. the guy in front goes as slow as he possibly can till the guy in back makes a break for it, he can even stop full out on the track as long as he can hold it...the guy who was in front (now in back) drafts behind the guy in front and hopes he overtakes.
This is particularly dumb http://youtu.be/Q0O8ZzFuMkQ
Nor do I
I am assuming the one on the left won the gold with a simple vault performance but the one on the right (Maroney from USA) had to settle for silver with a better performance. Shows you how much harder it keeps getting.
Between Olympic soccer matches, NBC analyst Marcelo Balboa fields texts and emails from friends who ask him, ''How's London?''
He wouldn't know. The three-time World Cup participant turned sportscaster is one of many at NBC covering the Olympics from a cubby equipped with a television monitor in New York, one of a warren of them lined up in the studio where ''Saturday Night Live'' usually originates. NBC has a team of 650 people working on London Olympics coverage from New York.

The one on the left is flawless though. The one on the right, although super impressive if you have ADHD(which is everyone now?), is actually alot sloppier. The landing she sticks on the right is ridiculously firm.
Women's soccer is awesome!
ok the ref is letting far far to much go. lots
of fouls
I hope that the game isn't ruined by the
ref.
Wondering how much that American soccer referee was paid... Even the American coach said she's never seen that delay-of-game call made, much less in a significant game.
Sigh men's volleyball.

Just saw highlights of the two calls. The first call I understand the complaining, though it was a call that I wish was made more often to prevent the leading team from killing the clock with BS slow starts, the semifinal is not the time to set a precedent.
The second call was clear as day. The ball hit her hand, it's a hand ball. The end. There were like 6 Americans that threw their hands up looking for a call the moment it happened.
