Wow what a great night in the pool.
The US takes the Gold in the 800 meter relay- with a HUGE margin and a significant new record with a time under 7 minutes- and then Phelps takes the Gold in the 200m Butterfly and with a world record as well.
That said, the 200m women's free- won by an Italian swimmer- was the race that most captured my attention today. It was great. And the 200m women's IM was a great race too.
On gymnastics- China earned the Gold, and I am sorry so much blame is getting put on the first US gymnast for us getting Silver. She had her 2 errors, but there was more to it. Her attempted mount on the beam was insanely hard and I really hope she will have the chance to compete in future Olympics.
