			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I guess some people got really angry that Liukin didn't get the gold medal (uneven bars).  China's He did.</p>
<p>Their scores were identical, but the <a target=new href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/olympics/2008/08/the_uneven_bars_tiebreaker_exp.html?hpid=artslot">tiebreaker gave the medal to He</a>.  So many Americans (not all, of course) are complaining about the decision.  But here's the thing.</p>
<ol>
<li>The tiebreaker wasn't just something that the IOC or FIG just made up on the spot to favor He.</li>
<li>If the tiebreaker had given the gold medal to Liukin, all the complainers from the States would've been like "W00t!  Go Liukin!"</li>
</ol>
<p>Liukin handled the final decision like a true Olympian.  Can others do the same?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Go American swimmers!  Special congratulations to the U.S. men's relay team for their gold.  I couldn't believe they won.  It was such a close race, and I was pretty sure the U.S. men wouldn't win.  Subarashi!!!!!</p>
<p>It's been incredible to watch all the main events live.  I've also stayed up to watch the opening ceremony, which was just stunning.</p>
<p>Funnily enough, several of my friends asked me who I was rooting for?  Japan or America.</p>
<p>It's so hard for me to say.  I like all of them.  I'm also cheering for South Korea.  To me, nationality isn't important.  What's important is that they did their best (and NO DOPING!).</p>
<p>BTW -- am I the only one irritated at the media's report of Dara Torres's possible doping?  The woman is phenomenal at forty-one, and so many people are saying she must be doping or doing something illegal.  She has never failed a drug test, and voluntarily keeps her urine and blood samples at some third-party testing facilities for any future drugs.  The idea being promoted here -- that a woman over forty should just be an unfit housewife or something -- is insulting.  Torres should be admired, not speculated upon.</p>
