9:49 AM: China won 4 more gold medals through the night and now has 6!! Surprising, Koreans have 3 golds already and the Americans have stalled after last night's mad haul in swimming.
9:40 AM: I slept late last night and so the start is late this morning. But I'm getting right to the events. Just watched the Men's 4x100 M Free Relay. Brent Hayden swam a personal best to put Canada in the lead in the first 100 M but it's scary to think Americans swam a world record without Michael Phelps!! Frightening!!
___________(Sleep)___________

9:59 PM: Here comes the IM swimmers!!! Phelps! Lochte! Cseh! Johns! This is exciting! The President is there! Ther former Prez is there! This is like the State of the Union!
8:59 PM: Yesterday, President George W. Bush was caught up in the sweltering heat of Beijing, visiting the US Beach Volleyball squads, playing some volleyball with world tops Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh. He then watched some softball practice! He can't win the War in Iraq but he sure can slap some bikini ass! The volleyball ladies are playing the Japanese in 1 minute!8:38 PM: What a true inspiration to everyone out there! Canada is always proud of you, Kyle!
