WHOOOOO HOOOO! Phelps gets gold in the 400 IM and he set a new world record that broke the one that he set at the Olympic trials. Yeahhhh! Erik V won the silver so the Americans go 1 2. Yeahhhh. I love the Olympics! Can you freaking believe that he swam 400 meters with four different strokes in 4 min and 8 sec? What the heck? That's under a minute per 100. Geezzzz. This guy is freaking incredible. Go USA. USA. USA.

Woo hoo....and Keller got a Bronze in the 400 Free too!  But we got nothing in the mens cycling road race as Paolo Bettini from Italy won it, Portuguese rider in 2nd and Belgian Axel Merckx in 3rd

Yeah, did you notice how many guys dropped from the race today? That heat had to just be terrible. Whoever had the lame-brained idea to put the Summer Olympics in Athens needs to be sent to the stockade! Obviously they took no consideration of the athletes trying to compete in 100 degree heat and high humidity.

I was in Greece a number of years ago in the end of September and it was in the 80's then.   Still it would have been better than August!   The race was run in 100 degree heat!

He smoked them by more than three seconds. THREE seconds. That's an eternity. Broke the world record in the process. 19 years old, this guy is going to dominate for awhile. Our swimming version of Lance.
