Phelps at 11 career golds...
Bob Costas continues to be corny and somewhat athletically illiterate while anchoring the coverage...
The Women's Gymnastics team looked for a while like they might get gold, but after Alicia Sacramone botched her beam routine, she wasn't able to put it past her and ended up having a bad floor routine, but they still came away with silver. I really like Shawn Johnson's floor routine--she uses music from August Rush.
I've also noticed a lot of interesting music choices throughout NBC's coverage. I keep hearing soundtracks being used on stories about athletes, including National Treasure and Lemony Snicket's a Series of Unfortunate Events. Pirates of the Caribbean music was fittingly used when they talked about the fencing medal sweep. I also randomly noticed "Ghostbusters" playing in the background during a beach volleyball match.
