Also, I just watched Roger Federer play in the gold medal round of men's doubles.

He was amazing! Maybe he should just forget about singles now that Nadal seems to have his number - he could have a whole new career beating the Bryan brothers (who btw won the bronze).

^^That was the first time I've ever really gotten into a water polo game, it was pretty fun to watch.

I'm SO excited to watch some of the trampoline contests! I trained at a gym in high school with a coach that was a national competitor in tramp, and it was incredible to watch him practice. And those high quality trampolines are crazy to work on.

It seems weird to me that trampoline is a medal sport.

Confession: One of my absolute favorite things about the olympics so far has been the Visa commercials with Morgan Freeman. Guilty Confession: I even looked some of them up on youtube.

I cannot believe Deena Kastor had to DNF! She's not my favorite runner, but I really grew to respect her after watching Spirit of the Marathon. Wow, what an absolutely awful shame.

Results for my friends - they were in 4th, one point out of 3rd, going into the medal round (which only the top 10 teams compete in and the places are multiplied by 2). The conditions, which have been bad - no wind and horrible currents, took a 180 degree turn for the worse (for my team at least) and now it blew 16 with gusts to 25 (a team in contention for a gold in another discipline, the 49er, broke their mast - so scary, awful conditions).

anyway, my girls ended up in 9th place for this race knocking them all the way down to 7th overall. What a bummer! Something they've been working for for years and in one race, it's over...

I'll see them in Rochester in 2 weeks, I think many bottles of Chardoney will be consumed.

My other friend Anna is currently in second in laser radial. Hopefully, she can stay up there!

Srmom1,
I don't know what you just said, but it sounds exciting. Congratulate your friends on all of their hard work.
