FYI, the Men's Decathlon coverage just started on the NBCOlympics.com site.

Whaddaya mean, no spoilers? I follow it live!

Also, hottest. Piglets. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Maybe a few of the swimmers are hotter, but I get to watch the deca boys compete in TEN events.

You kill me.

It's funny watching it this way because you see the other guys just goofing-off the whole time while they wait.

If I tried to get my muscles to fire, then rest, then fire, then rest like that, I'd be bent in pain...

Any idea why Ashton Eaton has a green number?  WR holder maybe?

I agree. I wonder the same thing when watching gymnastics. YOu get up and do your thing one, two, three times in an hours-long meet -- must be very difficult to have to sit around and wait for so long in between, and then be at the top of your game mentally and physically when the time comes.

I guess I did that in wrestling tournaments in high school and college, but a) I was younger, I'm sure that makes a difference and b) I think you're more likely to blow-out a hammy doing the high-jump or pole vault than taking a single-leg. 

At least it looks as though on the high jump, long jump, discus, hammer, javelin, and pole vault they can pick when they're doing their attempts or is it a rotation of some sort?  I can't figure it out. 

I like the british dude announcing the meet.
