Two Gold medals for Americans. As an experienced and not very young swimmer he probably couldn't reach two peaks of the form this year. The season has been long and Helsinki European Championship was his best period of the year. Athletics just started and there were some surprises in high jump elimination round. Good to see Polish relay runners in individual quarterfinals.
History makes the circle.
He is still my favourite for 50km walk. The best day for Poles so far. The worst day for the athletes at the Stadium Australia as far as the weather is concerned. High Jump surprised me a lot SOTO had to reconciled himself with the second place. Poland celebrates the first Olympic GOLD medals in rowing and hammerthrow in history.
