Fencing - women's sabre. The US women dominated the event. In the last Olympics the top US woman won the Gold and it was the first time the US won a medal in fencing in 100 years(men or women). She won GOLD again this Olympics and brought a couple friends. They swept the womens fencing and she won the first Gold medal of these Olympics for the US. Not bad.
Oh, btw their names are: Mariel Zagunis, Sada Jacobson and Becca Ward went 1-2-3 in saber, putting the U.S. on the medals chart.

Nobody in my household is a big sports nut. However, if MMA ever comes to the Olympics, I'm there. I do like fencing, though. But then again, it involves blades.

My son and daughter were both swimmers in high school and college an I enjoy the swimming too. My daughter was invited to try out for the US National Team in Colorado Springs. She didn't make the team but was honored to have been asked. I also like Wowmens' softball. Whats your favorite sport.
Swimming is mine. I coached swimimming for 10 years and just have a real love for it. Michael Phelps is amazing.

Am I the only one who donīt like watching sports? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Nope. I like playing sports, but not watching other people do it. Very boring to me. My female cousin in big into sports, especially football. She's a big Colts fan. So, I took this pic of me with Tony Dungy (Colts coach) in Dallas when we were both flying back to Indy: ![[Linked Image from i6.photobucket.com]](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/andywayne/My%20Pics/03-14-08-61.jpg)

The men's swimming 4x100meter relay finish was fantastic!
The U.S. won even after all the French smack-talk about 'smashing' them.

The French team sure wasn't trash-talking after the race - it looked like they were going to cry! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
