The USA Just Won a Terrible Boxing Match

I haven't watched boxing in a long time, and apparently they don't really box so much anymore.  I just watched a whole round of clinching and grabbing.  Our guy fell to the ground twice -- once on his own, and once because his opponent pulled him down.  I had no idea what was going on, but our guy won, so I guess that's a good thing.

Current medal count:

1.  USA:  27 (4-12-11)
2.  FRA:  21 (6-9-6)
3.  GBR:  17 (6-6-5)
4.  CHN:  16 (8-6-2)
5.  JPN:  13 (7-2-4)
T6.  AUS:  12 (6-4-2)
T6.  ITA:  12 (3-5-4)
8.  KOR:  11 (5-3-3)
9.  CAN:  6 (2-2-2)
10.  BRA:  4 (0-1-3)

  1. One of my favorite Olympic moments is when they show all the sailboats, and each boat has a giant sail that looks like the national flag.

  2. I also like the shots of the table tennis players hunched over the table, looking at the ball, just before they serve.

  3. I'll be honest: I don't really think much of 3-on-3 basketball as a spectator sport, at least under the rules they are using.

  4. I have struggled with it, but I've started to come around to 3x3, and I like it that they call it "three-X-three."
