Day 2 was a bit unkind to two of America's most high-profile teams. Both the men's swimming team and women's gymnastics team were shaken by the suddenness of Olympic competition.

Jordyn Wieber did not qualify for the all-around competition as she was edged out by her own teammate. The two gymnasts per country rule bit the Americans today. 

Perhaps over-confidence bit the men's swimming team. They were stunned by France in the 4x100-meter freestyle relay. Olympians reacted to both defeats as well as to any and everything else happening for them in their Olympic experience.

Check it out.

There's nothing like brotherly love:

 

If someone is doing tricks like this at a party, I'm betting there's a liquid present that Daley isn't old enough to drink.

Something tells me Belarus isn't as swanky as the Olympic Village. Jordan Burroughs chimes in:

This has no redeeming value beyond the fact that I was struck by her beauty in this picture—oh, and nice shoes. Allyson Felix is already shining like gold and she hasn't even competed yet. Carry on.

They say everyone has a twin. Did Jake Dalton find his at the Olympics?
