    I was glad Australia and South Africa won for that. The U.S.A. is great, obviously, which is why I want to see a variety of countries winning.

    Disappointing things from yesterday / today:
    - Brent Hayden not making it past the semi-finals for swimming last night.
    - Sherraine Schalm was defeated by a Hungarian this morning. Best chance we had at a fencing medal.

    People are already complaining about how our athletes aren't winning medals at the Summer Olympics. Really though, people would be complaining even if the government DID give millions of dollars to athletes and programs for them (like other countries do) since that money "could" be used somewhere else.

    • Adam Brown did well last night (swimming), and there's always the Winter Olympics ;)Jaline
