The mens gymnastic team wins bronze which was the equivalent of David kicking Goliath's ass because they shouldn't have been in the same arena as the rest of the gymasts, but they somehow gutted it out.

Michael Phelps is now tied for most gold medals ever over an Olympic career and goes to break it tonight.

Aaron Piersol, if you get a chance to watch this guy swim and/or hear an interview, he is Mr. Cool. No wonder why he is redefining backstroke, one of the keys to a successful backstroke is being relaxed, this guy is just on a different playing field when he gets in for a backstroke event. Every time I watch him swim he breaks a record whether its American, Olympic, World or otherwise in the backstroke.

Natalie Coughlin has got a horseshoe up her butt, she had no right winning that 100 meter backstroke last night as she nearly hit the lane line again. She is what we call a circle swimmer. She is so used to circle swimming in practice that she does it in a race. I don't understand, as a coach how you get to the Olympics and let that be a factor. She got away with it and thats good because all things considered, I really like her and she deserves to win some hardware.

Thats all for now, Im going to watch more events. Best bet is, don't miss the swimming. They are flying in the water.
