Well, I'm glad that Michael Phelps did it. That medley relay team was the best you anyone could possible have, so after he got his 7th, he was pretty much guaranteed an 8th. I'm going to enjoy watching all the interviews he's gonna do in the near future.
Dara Torres got the silver in the 50m, by 1/100 of a second--the margin by which Phelps won the 100m butterfly! She is so awesome. All other 41-year-old swimmers wouldn't even make the Olympic team, let alone win silver in a sprint! This has been such an awesome Olympic year for swimming--tons of records broken, lots of extremely close races.
Speaking of cool old athletes, and 38-year-old from Romania won the women's marathon, and she did it by a landslide! She pulled away early and stayed far ahead of the others for the rest of the race. It's reasons like this that make me love the Olympics so much.
Side note: Michael Phelps looks like my friend Adam Bruce, and best all-around gymnast Shawn Johnson looks kinda like my friend Brooke Ward. Crazy!
