2012 Olympic Games

Opening ceremony was Friday. I always get the feeling that people in the US only care about the Olympics if they're held here. Anyone watching this is?

LONDON -- Michael Phelps has won a record-tying 18th Olympic medal, taking silver in the 200-meter butterfly.

The winningest Olympian ever is still looking for his first gold of the London Games, getting out-touched at the wall by South Africa's Chad le Clos. Phelps flipped away his cap in disgust when he saw a "2" beside his name, knowing he had blown it at the end by trying to glide to the wall instead of taking one more stroke.

Le Clos won in a time of 1 minute, 52.96 seconds. Phelps finished in 1:53.01, while Japan's Takeshi Matsuda took the bronze in 1:53.21.

Despite the disappointment, Phelps tied Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina as the career leader with 18 medals.

He got another medal yesterday (Gold), winning his record 19th medal. 15 of those being Gold medals.

Erick Thohir, head of Indonesia’s Olympic team, told the Associated Press that eight doubles badminton players from China, South Korea and Indonesia have been disqualified for throwing their matches to obtain a more favorable draw.

Says the AP: “A badminton official with knowledge of Tuesday’s incidents said the problems started when a Chinese pair lost unexpectedly to a Danish team. This meant that the top two seeded teams, both from China, would meet earlier than expected and one would eliminate the other earlier than the planned time, the final. The plan would be for China to win gold and silver but the Chinese pair needed to lose to avoid playing their fellow Chinese before the semifinal.”
According to the Telegraph, “The expelled players include Chinese World Champions Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang.”
In a match Tuesday pitting China against South Korea, the players appeared to purposely hit the shuttlecock into the net or out of bounds, drawing boos from the crowd.
The women’s doubles quarterfinals are scheduled to start at noon Wednesday.
Thohir became the lead investor of D.C. United earlier this month. He told the AP that the Indonesian team would appeal the decision.
