Probably the most fun interview I've heard. Both these Olympians communicate well and smoothly. Nick really understands where he is at, at this moment in time. Very good of him to recognize the coaching and what it has meant to him. Very impressive to hear him differentiate the difference between knowing you have the potential vs. the reality of now is the time. Many blessings to both these athletes-America can be very proud of both.

what's the name of the spikes christian and nick were wearing?
theyre yellow nike's but what are they called?
even if you wanna say it was a slow race, which i dont think it was THAT slow...look at how much nick and andrew had left. I'm not saying they will go 1:39, but they can definately go faster. Remember, the games are when they are peaking.

Saw him get his ass handed to him in the Pre meet. Then I knew he would pull through.He's by far the hottest olympian i have ever seen. Even when he is making the pain face at the end of a race he's sexy. Boys take note on this man.

Hard to believe that NBC, USA Network, Comcast, Eugene '08, USA T&F, etc. haven't posted the 800 final anywhere.
Last night I was watching Wheating the whole race. It's always the big guy sitting in the back you have to watch out for

Just saw the press conference. How great was Wheating's validation of Symmonds' response when asked about who was around him when he broke out of the box. Not only are these guys good, but they all seem to be very cool and approachable. There's no doubt that they're confident, but virtually no hint of arrogance...very refreshing!

Finally found the Eugene '08 US Olympic Trials - Men's 800 Final on a local Idaho TV site at:
