11 Aug 08 - 12:08 PM (#2410632) Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: PoppaGator I wonder if her event will be on TV in the US. NBC is providing lots of covereage on multiple networks, at least for those of us with cable or satellite connections. Broadcast viewers migfht not get anything more than the regular NBC network stuff (which is plenty); basic cable give you more Olympics on MSNBC, CNBC and USA, and hi-def cable offers, in addition to all that, a "Universal HD" channel plus two new special channels that provide only live (middle-of-the-night) events. We seem to be getting a wide and seemingly random variety of events, including lots of activity without US competitors, and plenty of different sports, including "minor" ones. I'd guess there's be a pretty fair chance of seeing a British female weightlifter ~ a better chance than at any previous Olympics ~ but only one chance at best. If she's on American TV, but while I'm at work, I wouldn't expect to be provided with replay coverage |

Michaela's performance was the epitome of the dedication, sportsmanship, and pure raw courage that was ONCE the hallmark of the Olympic Ideal. In my book she deserves a gold medal at least as much as any who will actually bring one home. My arms and legs are still aching from pushing that bar up with her. Don T. |

13 Aug 08 - 02:46 PM (#2412735) Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: olddude My God what courage. I don't know your family but I can tell you I could not be more proud of anyone ever. She is amazing and has courage that one rarely sees. She is a superstar in my books and has a gold metal in the hearts of all of us here. I watched my daughter crawl across an iron man finish line because she refused to stop 2.2 miles swimming, 112 miles biking, 26.9 miles running all non stop. Finished the race and had to go to the hospital after words. She ran the race sick with a fever but refused to stop. When our kids show this much heart all we can do is be proud of them and know they are the true winners in the hearts and minds of all of us. |
