Apparently so.

I don’t know about you guys, but power walking is my new fav sport.
Oh, and some of the guys in the back are blatantly jogging.

Last Olympics one of the guys got DQ heading into the stadium and he was in 2nd place. They get like 3 warnings and it doesn't matter where they are it is over. That sport is funny as hell to me.

I'm now watching ping pong on usa, it's really fun to watch actually. I'm watching coverage until USA-Spain. Staying up all night.

What's hilarious about this is that they actually have DOUBLES table tennis (or Pong to some). 4 people playing table tennis is an ironic sight considering how small the table is. It truly is a "WTF" moment when you see it for the first time.

I can't help but be reminded of Forrest Gump...double time though.

To think, people actually play these off-the-wall sports in the Olympics......power walking, doubles table tennis.........yet they want to get rid of Softball??!!!!

Doesn't make sense to me either. They should Keep softball and baseball. Table tennis is fine but power walking is flat out ridiculous. I laugh everytime I see it.

7/7, he was down again, and came back! Wow, and Crocker totally disappeared in that race..

What an upset in mens' water polo. Team USA upsets #1 team Croatia.

100m dash final is on tonight. As is Phelp’s final race.

Around 10, I believe.

according to nbc.com the relay starts at 11 Beijing time, so that's 8 o'clock pacific time.

Damn! Torres loses by .01seconds to take the silver. Still impressive for a 41yr old woman.

Spoilers: Phelps won.

I didint know about the tape delay and went on ESPN to find out that Phelps won.

Why is there such a huge tape delay???

I'm sure BB is out celebrating in the streets of Romania because of Constantina Tomescu's gold medal in the marathon.

I really wanted her to get one individual gold medal in her career. That is really sad that she was .01 seconds slow to getting it. Still a great woman though.

USA wins the medley!

WTF. Bolt sets a WR 9.68 and it seems like he eased off at the end. Ridiculous.

They're saying he could have run a sub 9.60 if he didn't pull up. Just insane.

Dix gets a bronze. Nice.

Usain Bolt LOL!

This guy is comedy. He was so satisfied with himself.

I loved it when those random Chinese fans were hugging him like they were his boys. Hilarious.

She definitely has been. She hurt the US most on the relays, especially after she dropped individual events.

She did too many races. If she had a more reasonable schedule, I think she would have been fine.

After it all, Coughlin is the first female swimmer to get at least 6 medals in one Olympics.

East coast it's live at 8 PM. However, that would be 5 PM on the west coast. During the week, they would loose all their audience.

This is the most watched Olympics ever, giving NBC great ratings, so you can see why they wouldn't ever be live on the West coast.

KCAL does the same thing with the very early East coast Laker games.
