Nothing is happening unusual after the departure of Michael Phelps. I quite used to his record breaking marathon every next day. He should participated in some more events and help USA to win the race against China. But nevertheless he done his job quite eventfully and made his country proud.
So as I am saying there is nothing special to tell, but there something that might cheers the Indians. India's new Boxing sensations Vijender Kumar and Jitender Kumar are still holding the India's hope for another medal, but sadly Akhil Kumar is out of the competition losing to a young, inexperienced Moldovan opponent. Both these players have their matches tommorrow morning. Let's hope they bring laurels for their country and help India to achieve it's first Boxing medal in Olympics.
There is also a setback for Indian fans, Anju Bobby George failed to qualify for her event.
It's seems that Olympics is between China and USA. Both fighting for the pride for highest gold getter. China is maintaining its lead with 43 gold, US is catching up with 26 and Great Britain with 16 golds.

"He [Phelps] should participated in some more events and help USA to win the race against China."
Himanshu, Michael Phelps swam in *8 events*. That's utterly exhausting for a human being-- if you swim too much, it wears you down. Remember, Phelps almost lost his last event to a Serbian swimmer Milorad Cavic, because he was so exhausted. He couldn't help the USA anymore.

The USA is not catching up, Himanshu-- China is leading by 17 gold medals, the same margin as yesterday. I'm sorry, but the USA is not going to catch up-- there aren't enough events left. It's especially disappointing for me, as an American, but the fact is, China has won these Olympics. The Chinese are the world's new sporting superpower, and we all have to accept that reality. They're leading in science as well.
Everyone at my school is now taking Mandarin Chinese language classes ("Zai wode xuexiao women dou zai xuexi Zhongwen" in Chinese)-- without knowing Chinese, nobody is going to have a job anymore. The Chinese are the new leaders.
