Maybe there was some concern after Phelps's performance yesterday and they chose to change up the order?

USA's Jose Ramirez wins 21-20 over France's Rachid Azzedine in Boxing


I think I heard them say the US's record is now 3-0 in Olympic boxing this year

NO, NO! No USA coverage. Heavens forbid we get something without a price tag or a contract. Hell, the coverage is so bad on NBC (the tiny bits I've seen) it's almost a relief not to get it on our U.S. teevee bread and circus networks.

Earlier today Honduras upset Spain 1-0 in soccer, also eliminating Spain from advancing to the knockout stage

Spain got a (somewhat far) free kick at the very end but it went wide and out of bounds

Yeah it's ladies basketball, but France and Australia are going into overtime 65-65


After Australia makes a last second, double covered, half court basket!

What's with the racism? Second athlete kicked out. Maybe the Olympics shouldn't encourage some people to use social media.

Racism is prevalent throughout Europe. Those of us who follow soccer know this. Even having lived in the south my whole life, and been exposed from racist people and racism as long as I can remember, some of things that take place in soccer stadiums across Europe blow my mind.

This is an old article from before the 2006 World Cup in Germany, but you can get a general idea of some of the things that go on.
