The men's relay was AMAZING! If you missed it, you have to go online to see a re-cap! I had goose bumps watching as Jason Lezak (the anchor) charged to the wall- starting the lap almost half a body length behind the French (who had been smack talking the US---in your face, France!) The team shattered the world record with a time of 3:08.34. Truly awe inspiring! Michael Phelps (above) lead the team with an American record in the first 100m, bringing him that much closer to 8 gold metals!
On the other hand, it was a rough start for the US Women's Gymnastics team as we struggled through the prelims tonight. Injuries, falls, out of bounds...lots of disappointments for our girls. But, I am confident that we will come back strong- and after the pep talk seen here that the team gave each other, it looks like they can- they know they can- and have to- do better! Overall, some very impressive gymnastics. Ethan did a few flips on the couch in celebration! GO USA!!!!
