WOW
Your right J she is a great swimmer , so have you met her? I remember reading somewhere that her Mother was Filipino and she could have swum for them. That very well could have gotten them their first GOLD ever.

I haven't met her. As a matter of fact, her cousin recently moved to the school district. Hope to meet her soon.
The filipino part, that would explain my daughter's friend's exotic eyes. She is really beautiful.

Couldn't help being disappointed Hacket not winning his third consecutive Gold Olympic medal for the mens 1500m... the Tunisian seemed to have come out of nowhere. Winning Silver is still pretty amazing, though. Emily Seebohm, Leisel Jones, Jess Schipper and Libby Trickett winning Gold in the 4x100m relay soon afterwards made up for it though :-)
How good were the rowers on Friday! Two Gold and a Silver in a row! That was nice to see :-)
and Phelps, geez... can't help but be impressed with his 7 Gold Olympic medals!
