Womens diving a few nights ago -

On Canada’s final dive, NBC’s Cynthia Potter, who earlier noted pointedly that Filion is not as “streamlined” as any of the other divers, exclaimed “Oh No! It’s a tidal wave” as Filion splashed into the pool from 10 meters above.

I have heard the swimming announcers say "the best breast stroker in the world" on 2 separate occasions.

I'm sure Al Trautwig can be counted on for some special gems from women gymnastics only I tune him out ever since he ruined watching the Tour De France for me however many years they had him on there. I do think I remember hearing him say during one of the preliminary evenings of women's gymnastics to "get ready for one of the greatest nights in Olympics history." If he didn't say that exactly one can't be faulted for assuming he said something close to that. I wonder if he's still nursing his man-crush for Lance Armstrong.

"Every time she cleans it she jerks it."

Frank Perdue's chicken slogan, "It takes a strong man to make a tender chicken," was translated into Spanish as "it takes an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate."


Not Olympic, but I like the quote...

What I heard this morning:

"It's an eggs and bacon breakfast. The chicken is involved, but the pig is committed. To reach this level, you have to be the pig."
