Great to watch.  Even the commercials are tasteful

Congratulations to Mr Phelps.

However I couldn't help notice that he appears to have all the physical traits of Marfan's syndrome (like Larry Bird):

Anyone watch any of the boxing? The scoring system and officiating leaves so much to be desired that the fights are devolving into some sort a game of school yard tag. Very little in a martial vein going on in most bouts, rather a lot of clenching, bicycling around, and pot shotting. Put some long ribbons in the boxer's hands and call it arhythmic gymnastics.

Oughta watch a couple bouts just for the train wreck factor. It's the martial arts and crafts ethos taken to its logical extreme.
