| Anywhere other than NBC where I can see Luan JuJie. I can't believe CBC isn't filming it!

| Damn... just checked the TV. French CBC has boxing & English CBC is interviewing swimmers... I wanted to watch. Hopefully she'll make it to the top 16 & I can see her early in the am.

| Emily seems to be having a lot of trouble getting a light on here. Even for women's foil, this bout seems to have very little right of way. | |

| As a women's foilist, I never understood why people make fun of the weapon so much.
...sadly, now I think I'm starting to understand it. Some of these bouts have had disastrous levels of inactivity :| | |

I'm not real confident that she'll get far... but who knows.
I wanted to smack her for letting herself get run off the strip.
