Its too crazy for me to write about every record broken or every notable thing that happens as it happens in the olympics. Its practically an every moment thing.
So I will tell you what I think is notable:
- Gymanstics (Mens Team Final) - U.S. gets bronze
This totally smelled because they had a chance, guy named Horton was crushing everything, just sticking every landing. Then this one guy, who only had to do one event, that all he was waiting for, he gets up and does pommel horse and messes up. Then that rattled the next guy on pommel horse and the silver and gold were out reach. They got bronze, and it was an accomplishment because the U.S. team was rittled with injuries.
- Gymnastics (Womens Team Finals)
U.S. could of had it. China leaves the door open with a mistake and Alicia Sacramone messes up on balance beam. Then she got even more rattled and messed up on floor exercise. So they got silver. China gets gold
- Swimming
There have been tons of records broken so I am not going to list them. If you want to know them, search around. But Michael Phelps is the story, winning hist 11th gold medal for himself in his olympic career, making him the athlete with the most gold medals EVER.
There is more stuff, and I will edit this post later today possibly.
