Here it is:
-Women's water polo team escapes defeat by beating Australia and heading to the final gold medal match.
-Heartbreaker of a 100 meter hurdles, Lolo Jones is ahead but trips over the second to last hurdle, she finishes in 7th, but her teammate from U.S. Dawn Harper won the gold.
-In the 400 meter run Sanya Richards had a big lead after the first 200 but something went wrong and she ended up getting bronze. She said later that her leg had started cramping up.
-Shawn Johnson finally won her gold medal on the balance beam!! Nastia Liukin got silver. We are all very excited that Shawn got a gold to go with her four silvers.
-Jonathan Horton from the U.S. added more difficulty to his high bar routine to pull out a silver medal win. He was probably the reason the U.S. got bronze in team competition. He gave a very solid and exciting routine.
-Henry ( ), son of undocumented mexican immigrants won his weight class in freestyle wrestling at age 21. He was proud to represent the U.S.
BMX is a new sport in this olympics, I hope it is on tomorrow night, it should be exciting.
One broadcaster noted during the day that U.S. women's teams are having huge success in the olympics. Basketball, softball, soccer, beach volleyball, indoor volleyball and water polo. I hope they all win the gold!
