I thought that too. Then when the audio went out, I just thought NBC was just going to have a cut out of audio for a moment (since that happens sometimes on the HD channel for live events), but then everyone started laughing. I've noticed that NBC has returned to show another medal ceremony live, but that was likely already planned to not show until the late night session perhaps?

Cancellara is from Switzerland. So glad to see the Americans sweep fencing. The medal ceremony was great to watch. Also USA on top in total medals, the American are off to a great start.

Men's Cycling Road Race 1. Samuel Sanchez Spain 2. Davide Rabellin Italy 3. Fabian Cancellara

After day of one of the individual dressage & team dressage, here are the top 5. Individual 1. Lucinda Fredericks Australia 646 points 2. Karin Donckers Belgium 639 points 3.

Germany 135.5 penalties 4. Sweden 140 penalties 5. Great Britain 142.1 penalties So after everyone finishes going tomorrow, are these two specific events over & the top three get medals?

Here are all the results for the women today.

Japan & New Zealand 1pt +0 *means team is through to the next round. As of right now, the following teams would move on. Canada (Top 2 from Group E) China (Top 2 from Group E) Brazil (Top 2 from Group F) Germany (Top 2 from Group F) Norway (First from Group G) United States (Second from Group G) North Korea (one of two best third place teams) Sweden (one of two best third place teams)

I was watching MSNBC yesterday to see what they would have to say about the ceremonies. There will be four anchors it appears. One of them, will be one of the guys from Morning Joe (Not Joe Scarbroe, sp?). I didn't really recognize any of the other three.

Apparently it is right now.

Wow Jamie Beyerle did pretty well (she is from the next county over). Wasn't Du Lu the favorite to win this? Congrats to the three medalists. Does anyone know when the ceremony is?

I did online, but I'm in the USA (since NBC won't be airing it until 7:30pm). I was a bit annoyed about the commercial breaks during the parade of nations, not showing the USA contingent finish up, not showing American Samoa, not showing Afghanistan, & that they kept talking to the Canadians, but if I was in Canada, I know that I would have liked that, so that was a just a complaint since I'm American.

NBC Olympics.com has also released more detailed schedules for the cable channels. Also, the wrap up show will return to MSNBC from 5pm ET-7pm ET.

NBC is airing it on a 11.5 hours delay. It is set to end at midnight ET. Additional TV coverage doesn't resume until 2 hours later when CNBC airs live boxing & USA airs the morning medal events (on a tape delay) & eventually live team USA action (soccer/basketball).

I'm proud of the Americans, but now I'm worry that the same thing that happened from 1984-1996 will happen again. USA will get one win & 2 draws & because Americans are not attackers, they always miss going to the quarterfinals because of goal difference.

Here are the standings after day 1 Group A 1. Argentina +1 3pts 3. Australia & Serbia +0 1pt 4. Ivory Coast -1 0pts Group B 1. United States +1 3pts 2. Netherlands & Nigeria +0 1pt 4. Japan -1 0pts Group C 1. Brazil +1 3pts 2. China & New Zealand +0 1pt 3. Belgium -1 0pts Group D 1. Italy +3 3pts 2. Cameroon & South Korea +0 1pt 4. Honduras -3 0pts

All games final now Group A Argentina 2-1 Ivory Coast Group B Netherlands 0-0 Nigeria Group C China 1-1 New Zealand Group D Cameroon 1-1 South Korea

Argentina takes 2-1 lead over Ivory Coast with just 4 minutes left!

Korea has scored a goal! Korea 1-0 Cameroon.

Ivory Coast goal!!!!!!!!!!! Off a header! Tied game 1-1!

Here is the attendance to the early games USA-Japan 57,102 (I think this might be a typo possibly) Brazil-Belgium 39,661 Australia-Serbia 36,184 Honduras-Italy 21,680 If you click on match report you can see the attendance http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/Sche...008-08-07.shtml

Argentina goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also earlier I said that the USA -Japan game had 37,000 fans, well according to the official website it was actually 57,000.

I think Argentina might beat Ivory Coast by a few goals. Both teams keep getting the other opponent's goal, but Argentina has certainly been getting closer.

Here are the standings after the first wave. Group A 1. Australia & Serbia +0 1pt 3. Argentina & Ivory Coast +0 0pts Group B 1. United States +1 3pts 2. Netherlands & Nigeria +0 0pts 4. Japan -1 0pts Group C 1. Brazil +1 3pts 2. China & New Zealand +0 0pts 3. Belgium -1 0pts Group D 1. Italy +3 3pts 2. Cameroon & South Korea +0 0pts 4. Honduras -3 0pts

Over 37,000 are in attendance for the Japan-United States game. Also Freddy Adu & Michael Bradley both have yellow cards for the United States.

USA GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The United States qualified for men football (soccer) for all the games between 1984-2000 (mised in '04). They only got out of the group stage once, in 2000 when they finished in fourth place. Second half starting now.

Japan 0-0 United States Half Time. It's been an exciting game. Japan has had two chances, that they have not capitalize. The Americans haven't had as many chances.
