Anyone else watching the big O?

Michael Phelps just tied the record for most golds in an Olympics.  He just won his seventh gold by touching the wall 1/100th of a second ahead of the next guy.  I'm all fired up now and don't know what to do about it. YAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

Yeah, I'm surpised too. I was about to accuse Iritscen of being on drugs before I confirmed it somewhere else.

Re: Anyone else watching the big O?

Well, I'm in Canada (with no medals to date ), but I get to see most of this live.
Even if I can't catch it, I can go on the official Chinese website and stream it there.

No, I don't think the Chinese website will let you stream to anywhere but China.

You live in Vancouver, correct?

I'm confused.  I saw the victory a minute before I made the OP.  Are you saying that it happened hours before?  (The TV says "Live" in the corner, but I see that article is calling this a fraud.)

And it might seem cheap that he only won by 0.01 seconds, but in the super-slow-mo you can see Cavic coasting towards the wall, afraid to take another stroke, whereas Phelps powers in with one quick half-stroke, and that's why he hit the wall first.

They run it in Primetime for whichever timezone you live in. I don't think it is "LIVE" even if you live on the East Coast. So, yes, it is a fraud.

Stupid NBC.  Oh well, the Olympics are still cool.  I just can't believe I missed competitive trampolining!
