I watched the women's wrestling. It was Canada's first gold. I was so happy that a girlfighter brought in our first gold medal, then a few minutes after that, another of our women wrestlers took a bronze. Those were two of our first three, Canada had a bad start.
I agree though, I would have liked to see more wrestling too.

I keep trying to talk my daughter into wrestling. Two of her brothers were excellent wrestlers, and the other is a grappler. She won't try.
The legs are pretty good, thanks for asking. I have been too busy to do much running (bad I know) but last I ran I was going 8 minutes to 2 minutes of walking for 5K in around 32 minutes. Not an awesome time, but not bad for 3 months post op. I find if I run or do too much leg-intensive stuff more than every other day I get crampy, but if I rest for a day I'm good. Overall I'm pretty happy with the result.
The wrestling is on MSNBC in the mornings and the middle of the night. If you don't have cable or satellite your only recourse is the streaming media on the Internet. I did see some badminton. I have not watched wrestling or weightlifting as I am more interested in other sports. I totally love Beach Volleyball. Have not seen any of the boxing either. The equestrian all seems to be on the Oxygen Channel. USA has some coverage also.
Just wanted to drop by and let you know that I noticed you friended me. However, I keep all of my entries locked for a select group of people that I know. Sorry.

I've been waiting to see badminton in any TV coverage, but it has yet to see airtime in the US.
But then again, with the current Net feeds, who needs the damned TV?!
