August 27th, 2008 — Swimming, Tunisia
I got busy doing some other stuff so I wasn’t able to update this blog during the Olympics but this doesn’t mean that I will stop blogging about our Olympic champions 
Our fist post-Olympic post would be about Oussama Mellouli, winner of the 1,500 meter race in swimming, who went home to Tunisia and was deservedly welcomed as a hero. Good for him!

Michael Phelps made out with Stephanie Rice. So she must be his girlfriend. According to the gossip mongers of Page Six anyways.
Michael Phelps doesn’t have a girlfriend, but he celebrated his record-breaking eight gold medals in Beijing by sneaking off for a sizzling game of tonsil hockey with one of Australia’s hottest Olympians.
August 16th, 2008 — Brazil, Swimming
World’s fastest 50 meters freestyle swimmer Cesar Augusto Cielo Filho is Brazil’s favorite son and this blog’s favoritest crying Olympian. So even though I posted about his awesome crying earlier, here’s other awesome pictures of him.

Isn’t it interesting that almost half of the gold medal harvest of the United States is produced (or co-produced) by Michael Phelps? Here’s the merman celebrating after winning his seventh gold medal in the men’s 100 meters butterfly.

Kudos to Kirsty Coventry for coming up with a nice description for her gold medal in the 200 meters backstroke, i.e., a “cherry on top”.
Would it be safe to assume that some children in her native Zimbabwe will be named “Cherry” or, the more interesting, “Cherryontop” to honor Kirsty’s victory? After all, when she won three medals in Athens 2004, many Zimbabwean babies were named “Kirsty”, “Coventry”, “Goldmedal”, and “Threemedals”.
August 16th, 2008 — Great Britain, Swimming
Rebecca Adlington of Great Britain breaks the oldest world record in swimming (women’s 800 meters freestyle) and earns herself her second gold medal (and Great Britain’s fourth).

His fingers say it all, Filho Cielo is number one. He bagged Brazil’s first gold medal in Beijing after he ruled the men’s 50m freestyle.
Whatever happened to Australia’s Eamon Sullivan? Anyways, congratulations to Filho Cielo.
August 15th, 2008 — Germany, Swimming
Britta Steffen’s playfulness in the swimming pool didn’t hurt her Olympic bid as she out-swam her opponents to bag the gold medal in the 100 meters freestyle. Britta’s victory brings up Germany’s gold medal haul to eight as of posting.

Merman Michael Phelps got himself another gold medal [12th overall] which brings the U.S. total gold to 13. This is probably the most productive day for the U.S. in the swimming pool. No response yet from China as of this posting.
By the way, that’s Ryan Lochte (gold medalist in the 200 meter backstroke and bronze medalist in the 200 meter individual medley) with Michael in the AP file photo above. Nice head touching, no? But don’t you dare do that when you are in Thailand, Mr. Phelps. Head touching is a no, no there even if you are the “greatest Olympian evah”.

As I mentioned earlier, the gold medal race between China and the U.S. is now getting exciting. It’s been a bit boring for sometime with the U.S. stuck at 10 gold medals while China attacked in all fronts winning 22 gold medals.
But it’s now 12 golds for the United States following Ryan Lochte’s victory in the 200 meter backstroke. [The 11th came from Rebecca Soni.] Congratulations to you Ryan. Make sure you bite your gold so we will include you in our list of gold medal biters.
