Day 4:
Wow, the Games have really been exciting so far and have exceeded my expectations. With all the hype and the controversies leading up to the Olympics, I almost didn't want to watch.
1. USA Swimming continues its dominance as Michael Phelps gets closer to completing his "Quest for 8". USA Swimmers grab another 3 golds, 2 silvers, and 2 bronze as they surpass the Chinese in medal count.
2. The Aussies are showing up in swimming now taking a gold and bronze. I was expecting more from them as they are annual swimming powerhouses.
3. Chinese Mens Gymnastics - Wow! Just wow! They are just incredible and mesmerizing to watch. I caught some action out of curiosity and am glad I did. US is hanging in there and exceeding expectations. China takes gold and US in a gutsy performance takes the bronze.
4. Damn, the South Koreans are fierce - screaming up the medal count in third place with a gold in shooting.
Fun fact: There are 205 out of 203 countries represented at these Olympics. The lone hold out is Brunei which did not send any athletes.
