Mariel Zagunis Scores One Gold Medal for the United States

Now we’re talking. The China vs. United States race for gold medals is on. Fencer Mariel Zagunis saved the day for the U.S. when she “outsabered” her opponents to win the first gold medal for the U.S. The food they brought all the way from the U.S. must have helped, no?

Anyways, it was actually a clean sweep for the Americans because they also won the silver and the bronze medals for the event prompting an AP writer, Noah Trister, [I think he's American] to write, “Now, the US is the only country with three medals.”

Huh! Silly dude. Expect him to ignore the medal totals if the U.S. is doing better in the gold medal tally.
