The Jamaican women swept the 100m dash! Woo! I like them. Sure, I was rooting for Lauren Williams, but the Jamaicans deserved their medals. Shelly-Ann Fraser, the winner, kept jumping around for joy after crossing the finish line. It was funny. That, along with Usain Bolt winning the men's event so easily, is one reason why Jamaica rocks.
33-year-old Oksana Chusovina won silver in the women's vault. She's amazing. Alicia Sacramone probably should have won bronze, but a Chinese girl barely beat her. Bela Caroli was getting really worked up about it. The Chinese girl had a huge step on her second vault and he thought Alicia got totally ripped off. :(
Shawn and Nastia looked like they were going to repeat 1, 2 in the floor exercise, but then Romanian Sandra Izbasa, the last to go, did an amazing routine to win it. That was kinda sad, but cool for Sandra. Note: I really don't get bored of watching Shawn's routine, and she is so cute!
On the men's side, we didn't get any medals. Artemev's pommel horse routine was really exciting and extra hard, so it stung more than usual when he fell off. :( The British guy, Louis Smith, however, got a medal, the first for the UK since 1928.
I got to watch some Badminton last night. It is really quite exciting! When Lin Dan won gold for China, he jumped up and fell down, he was so excited. He then threw his racket and both shoes into the crowd. Lol.
The US women's eights rowing team won gold for the first time in a couple decades! Woo!
