This is what I hate about TSN. We shouldn't be in studio, show us the floor.

That's of course assuming you can trust a judging sport to be fair and impartial.

I hope Lithuania can feed off this gold medal in women's trampoline and come back and beat the US.

Sadly this isn't an elimination game for the US. But 1 point game with 7 minutes left is impressive.

What I love about watching the US team in the Olympics is when they don't get all the BS calls they get in the NBA, or when they actually get called for travelling and other violations.

Lithuania has allowed 28 points off turnovers. That would just about be the game.

Point taken -- but it's a mandatory deduction from what I heard in the commentary. Just enjoy the victory man.

I've literally seen more travelling violations called in this game than the entire NBA Finals.

Now that we finally have a gold medallist, can the media finally stop trying to claim Missy Franklin's medals?

Are the people saying we should claim Misty's Golds also cool with Jamaica claiming Donovan Bailey's?
