Competing For Gold

I am a huge Olympic fan and I am very much enjoying the Olympics this year. The opening ceremony on 08.08.08 was absolutely amazing! The Chinese believe that the number 8 is very lucky and that is why it started on that day. My favorite events of the Olympics are swimming, gymnastics and tack and field and I am so excited that the US is doing so well so far. Last night was an awesome night in swimming, I was a little upset when Katie Hoff was out touched at the end and had to settle for the silver medal, but the guys made up for it in the relay when they beat the French, giving Micheal Phelps his second gold medal.

Tonight was also great when Natalie Coughlin, Micheal Phelps, and Aaron Peirsol all took the gold one right after another...AMAZING!!

I can't wait for the ladies gymnastics finals tomorrow night, they had a rough time last night with a couple of them being hurt an several mistakes, but they still made it into the finals in 2nd place so that still gives me hope that they will take the gold.
