    Serena and Venus Williams caused all sorts of questions with my kids during the doubles match. Things like:

    "Why does that girl keep changing clothes?"
    "Why don't the Russian's have twins?"
    "Shouldn't twins play against twins in doubles?"
    "Are there Russian twins?"
    "When one twin plays in singles, what game does the other twin play?"
    "How come there aren't more twins?"
    "Do I have a REAL twin?"
    "Why not?"

    My youngest son and daughter are 9 months apart and their best friends are twins, a boy and a girl. They like to pretend they are twins like their friends. Since they are the same size and they look much younger than they really are, they can pull it off a little too well. This causes all kinds of trouble with them.

    In the final days of coverage, I really was enjoying volleyball and handball. Great matches all around.

    Golf.
    It is being incorporated into the next Olympics.

    Might as well consider including chess too and
    online gaming.

    Heavens forgive a motorsport like 'Trials Bikes' being included in the Olympics,
    so unathletic!!

    Then I started watching it, and these guys are really flying...they must be going 30/35 feet up into the air.
    That would be an interesting event, musical trampolines, where at some random point in time the music stops and the trampoline is pulled away.
    As above, so below

    You obviously haven't seen beach volleyball.

    Rugby union will be back next time, after a 92 year absence.

    Rugby Sevens, big boy rugby won't be back for a while. Put your money on Fiji or the Kiwis.

    I like the swimming and diving best, When I first saw the screenshots of pirate101 online, I think this is a 3D comic film, I really like the cute monkey in it. I cant wait.
