cyranoVR's Journal: OMG OMG OMG OMG - MEDAL LOCK FOR US FENCING!!!

BOTH SADA AND MARIEL ARE IN THE SEMI FINAL OF WOMEN'S SABER!

We have not one but two chances for medals. And they are on opposite sides of the bracket, so it could be an all-american final. EITHER WAY, AN AMERICAN IS GETTING A MEDAL!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I should stay home from work today...

Current?

Real time results

[robi2106]

The Real Time results for match #21 (China vs USA) appear to be available here [athens2004.com] but possibly only for IE users. Mozilla and it's varients seem to have problems on the athens site.

Looks like 1:10 left in the 3rd bout. I have no idea how frequently it is updated. Looks like less than every minute.

The athens2004 site sucks no matter what browser you use. Your best bet is NBCOlympics.com
