A great contest, with some real changes of fortune. I bet that this was Kenya's year, but, no, the GF won- Ethiopia for the gold. Russia for the bronze. And Gelana set a new record:
"Surging into the lead in the last mile and a half and running the second half of the race more than three minutes faster than the first, Tiki Gelana of Ethiopia won the women's Olympic marathon on Sunday in 2 hours 23 minutes 7 seconds, a record for the Summer Games."
Now watching Murray top Federer in men's tennis, another well-fought match.
The men's volleyball US vs. Russia yesterday was a nailbiter. The women's and men's track yesterday were close races with some upsets of favorites. Britain's Mo Farah winning the Men's 10,000m. Pistorius moving to the semifinals in his event. And of course, earlier, Gabby Johnson! There have been a lot of very watchable events. I love a good Olympics.
