Just watched this with my family. My parents were on the edge of their seats. It was an amazing race!
Too bad the Americans didn't medal but they were still fantastic. I was annoyed at NBCs commentary regarding the athletes because it really downplayed the physical strength it takes to be an Olympic marathoner of any caliber. Also when the commentators were speaking about one of the runners from Portugal, instead of focusing on her impressive caterer they talked about her soccer playing boyfriend. Women can exceed men in whatever they do, but their intrinsic value is still attached to their ability to land a guy and that mindset is so frustrating.
