TOP 10 OLYMPIC MOMENTS
I know the Olympics are probably a very distance memory to many people at this point but since I watched seemingly endless hours of coverage here's a list I came up with.
The Top 10 Surprising Moments from the 2008 Olympics. The opening and closing ceremony are not included and only one moment per athlete/team.
1) 4 x 100 Men's Freestyle Relay
2) Men's Volleyball Winning Gold
3) Dara Torres 50 meter freestyle race
4) U.S. men and women Water Polo reach gold medal game
5) James Blake stuns Rodger Federer
6) Usain Bolt's 200 meter run
7) Smog, pollution? Where was it?
8) 4 x 100 U.S. men and women relay collapse
9) U.S. Softball Team losing in gold medal game
10) U.S. men's gymnastics captures bronze medal
Finally, in what be classified as anything but top 10, there is an interesting story in the LA Times on the price that many Chinese athletes had to pay to be apart of the Olympics - here. It's fairly sad and some what disturbing.

I would have to agree with most of your top 10 moments. The 4 x 100 Men's Freestyle Relay was definitely a highlight, as was Michael Phelps amazing finish in the 50m butterfly. 1/100th of a second! The women's gymnastics all-around and final were also highlights for me. Hope you are doing great!
