Let’s add the name of swimmer Park Taehwan to South Korea’s list of Olympic heroes. He just won a gold in the 400 meter freestyle. He joins fellow countryman, Choi Minho, who earlier won a gold medal in judo.

Btw, all these hand actions by our Olympic champions remind me of the nursery rhyme that goes: I have two hands, the left and the right. Hold them up high…..

Michael Phelps wins his first gold medal and adds a second gold medal for the United States. This victory should W as happy as when he was out looking at ladies’ butts.

No gold medal response yet from the Chinese “we are the center of the universe” team as of this posting so the rivals both have two golds at this point.
