News from the Olympics

1. Friends or Foes? Nastia vs Shawn
Friends and teammates off the mat, these two are fierce competitors when they hit the floor tonight. Last year, Shawn Johnson dominated the gymnastics scene, winning every competition she entered. But this year, in their first meeting, Nastia Liukin grabbed the top spot, defeating Johnson at the American Cup. Since then, Johnson has not lost to Liukin, but the biggest obstacle in securing the coveted all-around gold medal will, no doubt, be Liukin.

Tune in to NBC at 11:00pm Eastern to Watch

2. Friends or Foes? Michael vs Ryan
They’re friends first, but when they jump in the pool to compete, they both want to win. Phelps has dominated the pool since 2004, but Lochte is one of the most improved swimmers and currently holds the world record in the 200M backstroke.

They both swim for medals tonight. Tune-in to NBC at 10:00pm to watch history in the making.

Awesome frined video on Michael and Ryan:

3. Don’t Throw Alicia Under the Bus!
John Roethlisberger takes a close look at the devastating loss for the girls’ gymnastics and defends Alicia Sacramone’s less than stellar performance in this video.


An insider look at Alicia: Is she recovering from her mistake on Tuesday?

As the veteran and Team Captain, Alicia Sacramone took it incredible hard, feeling she let her team down, when she fell in two separate events on Tuesday. She was clearly devastated when she stepped off the mat. So how is she doing now? Sources close to her tell us she is trying her best to move on, but is having a hard time. She has been trying to keep her mind off of it by visiting the salon in the Olympic Village, shopping and hanging out with her mom, dad and brother who are all in Beijing with her.

See her interviewed here:
