Am I the only one that didn't know there are 2 women's beach volleyball teams for the US??? And I've been watching a lot of coverage of the games as well.

Americans all look the same.

LOL - the team other than Walsh and Treanor yes. Those two are such a mainstay of the women's game you probably should notice a US team with or without them.
Got to watch them in person in Beijing - crazy crazy good team.
Does anybody know decathlon well enough to say if I should be getting excited about Damian Warner? He came into the high jump in fifth but just set a personal best to finish probably tied for second in this event which should move him up even further.
Good question. He's certainly peaking at the right time, personal best in highjump, 1 cm off his shotput PB, PB in longjump, seaon-best in 100m. I think he'd need to continue to have PB-type results all the way through to have a chance at a medal. He's definitely stronger at the short speed-based events - 100m, long jump, and hurdles. Day 2 tends to favour the throwers, which Warner isn't. But if he gets a solid time in the 400 here, he's got a shot.
The fact these guys run 200 m about as fast as they run 100 m is incredible.
Not that incredible when you think about it, since they go into the second half off the 200m much closer to top speed, whereas both races start stationary.
Wow Trainer and Walsh win their third straight gold medals and are 41-1 in sets all time at the Olympics. One set lost over 21 matches! That's simply outstanding.
Warner also seems to be one of the best hurdlers in the field so he should start well tomorrow. Unfortunately his personal best in the discus is nowhere close to the top competitors so he's going to drop ground there.

Haha, she's May-Treanor. If you're going to drop one of the names drop Treanor because people know who Misty May is.

I'm just adding up his personal best scores to his current scores thus far. If he hits the personal best in all his remaining events, that would put him around 8415. That might be enough to put him in the mix for a bronze, but probably Suarez, Hardee, and Eaton all go over 8500.
I'd link a "normal American" wearing a bikini but then you'd probably have to stab your eyes out with a spoon.
