    NBC compiled videos of all the best olympic moments here:
    http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/greatesthits/index.html

    I would say the men's 4 x 100m swimming freestyle, the women's gymnastics all-around, and the men's 100m swimming butterfly have been my three favorite moments of the games thus far, and unless Hall gets gold it will probably stay that way.

    What were your favorites?

    the 4x100 freestyle, and the mens 100m butterfly were probably my favorite.
    i also liked the steeplechase qualifying round with fam and the 200m mens final.

    Best olympic moment right here:
    Olympic Moments Oly_g_10
    Some cuban guy asked for injury time during a taekwondo match and the ref screwed it up somehow so the cuban was disqualified. Anyway, the cuban and his coach were so pissed off that the cuban takewondo guy kicked the ref in the face and now might be banned for life. The ref need stictches and it cost the cuban the bronze medal (he won gold in sydney)
