Beijing Rewind




It's been almost 2 weeks since the Olympic Games started in Beijing. Now here what had happened in the Birdnest Stadium. Apparently, Americans could not run anymore. We all know that USA dominated Track & Field such a very long time. Now Olympic history seems to be interesting. Tyson Gay, American track and field super star, was not even qualified for the final round. Meanwhile, Jamaica rocked the world with its lightning boy, Usain Bolt. However, the U.S. still be the master in the pool. Michael Phelps, one of my favourite sport idols, made a history of 8 gold medals in swimming. That's the beauty of this sport. In Olympic, Swimming has 8 disciplines which mean that swimmers have possibilities of earning 8 medals. And Phelps did it all in gold. No one had done that before. Moreover, China attempts to switch the history around. It's been number 2 or 3 behind USA and Russia. Now Chinese are working hard to be on the top; and so far they lead in gold medals. But the U.S. still slightly leads in overall medals. The games are not yet over. So we'll see who is going to be number 1. USA Vs. China.
