The events continue...with Canada's Mike Brown having a great chance at the podium at the Men's 200m Breaststroke. That's up in the next 10 minutes.

CBC is once again predicting a medal ;)

There opinion means nothing anymore...it's like an emotionally abusive relationship!
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/14/2008 1:54:42 AM
Which is a pretty safe bet. Mike Brian was the 2nd fastest in the heats
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/14/2008 1:55:00 AM
I think this will be our best chance at the podium for Swimming events.
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/14/2008 1:55:43 AM
I'm hungry for that first medal....and nachos. But mostly medals
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/14/2008 1:56:52 AM
Oh...imagine if they gave all competitors who didn't make the podium nachos? I shall write the IOC and suggest it!

What a promo on CBC for this!
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/14/2008 1:58:44 AM
Wow...they spent all day on that!
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/14/2008 1:59:12 AM

Brown had a great last 50m.
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/14/2008 2:06:19 AM
He really did...amazing last 50m
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/14/2008 2:06:32 AM
Kitajima set an Olympic Record 2:07.64
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/14/2008 2:07:19 AM
I believe that's our last real chance at an Olympic swimming medal.
