Swimming sensation Michael Phelps bagged 2 more golds on Wednesday, bringing his gold count to five. He breaks the record for the highest number of gold medals won in Olympic history by an athlete. He's is running for 3 more, and if he does that, he breaks another world record. He advanced in the 100 butterfly preliminaries to stay on track to win his sixth gold medal.
He rested today, giving a golden opportunities to other swimmers to win something. The whole world's eyes will be on him when he will arrive in the water cube on Friday. Let's pray that this 23 year old remain unbeatable on Friday.
Thursday been a shocking day for tennis fans. Roger federer and Williams sisters crashed out of quarter finals, and opened the gates of success for others. Federer lost to American James Blake, a player he had beaten eight times in a row.“I’d lost to him eight, nine, 10, 50 times, I don’t know how many, but I had the feeling it could be my day today when Roger played a poor first game” blake said after victory.
Serena Williams became the second victim when she lost to Russian fifth seed Elena Dementieva 3-6 6-4 6-3. Then home favourite Li Na stole the show, out-hitting double Olympic champion Venus Williams in a sensational 7-5 7-5 victory.
Another twist in the tale, Swedish wrestler Ara Abrahamian throws down his bronze medal after his bid for gold was ended after a decision called as 'Politics' by Swedish coach.
Abrahamian took the bronze from around his neck during the medal ceremony, stepped from the podium and dropped it in the middle of the wrestling mat then walked off.
“I don’t care about this medal. I wanted gold,” he said. I think he shouldn't had done this. If had any issues with the decision, then he should have brought the matter properly and not like that. He should be happy that he even got a medal.
Well in the end, it's China again who is stealing the show with 22 golds, behind him is United States with 10 golds. It seems that it been a change in the 3rd place Germany outscored South Korea with 7 golds leaving Korea on 4th with 6 gold.
