The first American medal of the Olympics is a gold by...fencer Mariel Zagunis. Mariel is from my hometown of Beaverton, Oregon (as is the silver medalist) and also a student at Notre Dame. Now lets get a few more golds and beat China in the medal count!
Update: Phelps is still on track (thanks to the sizzling leg by Jason Lezak) after the US 4x100 nipped the Alain Bernard led-French. In a related story, after the race the entire French team grabbed white towels and surrendered. I hate it when people make bad French jokes but there I go.
Damn, Tyson Gay, what happend? He runs a 9.68 with wind in the Olympic Trials then drops it in the 100m semifinals. Then again there was no way he could have taken Usain Bolt. I mean that's just inhuman, no that's too gentle. What Usain Bolt did tonight is impossible, he ran below 9.7 seconds for a 100m. Good God. So far the US has done poorly in track, Tyson Gay bows out (but Walter Dix got bronze in the 100m) and two US shot putters crashed in the shot put, we need to get some golds here (although I give huge props to Shalene Flanagan in the 10k).
