Beijing 2008 Olympic Games NBC Schedule Day 11 Live Thread
Olympic Live Thread Goodness: Hopefully We'll See Some Track Guys Take A Dip Tonight
READ MORE:
I'm sure you're still recovering from your Michael Phelps hangover. I know I am. Obviously, there aren't likely to be any stories quite as compelling as Phelps for the remainder of the Games, but hey, there's still plenty of Olympic goodness going on. Tonight we've got men's and women's gymnastics, beach volleyball, the long jump, and perhaps my favorite event, the steeplechase. Why do I like the steeplechase so much? Well, I'll just let this video show you why I'm such a big fan.



Ah steeplechase, your potential for unintentional comedy is sky high.

By the way, is anyone else upset that we're getting our Olympic gymnastics coverage about 12 to 15 hours after it actually happened? Because I know exactly what happens tonight, and I knew about it at like 3am this morning.

Anyway, for the three of you who don't know what happened, I'll let you find out when you turn on the TV tonight. The rest of you, feel free to spoil it for those losers in the comment section.

Tonight's Primetime NBC Schedule


8pm to 12pm
- Gymnastics coverage includes the women's trampoline final and night two of individual event competition (men's rings and vault; women's uneven bars). On the uneven bars, Moscow-born, Texas-raised gymnast Nastia Liukin is a three-time world championship. Plus, track and field coverage features the men's steeplechase, 400m hurdles and long jump; also, women's pole vault. Also, Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh, who have claimed three straight world titles and the 2004 Olympic crown, play Cuba's Renata Ribeiro and Talita Antunes in a women's semifinal beach volleyball match (LIVE ET/CT).

Now see------take away baseball and softball but leave table tennis as a sport in the olympics? Yes, that makes sense because I would much rather watch table tennis than the other two SPORTS!
