Watched the 200m (mens) backstroke race tonight with Matt Grevers and Nick Thoman winning gold and silver respectively. Fantastic race with Thoman storming in at the end to claim the silver.

Missy Franklin's 100m backstroke race was also fantastic. Huge win by the 17 year old for her first gold medal.

Also, Michael Phelps looked good in the 200m breaststroke semi-final. He seemed to take it easy the first 150m, and then just blew by everybody the last 50m. Guy still has it...lol


Men's gymnastics fell off the wagon. Man that was horrible watching their performance tonight. Guy (Orozco) broke down after his failed vault. Had to be a horrible feeling.

Franklins win was sweet and it was hard to watch the mens gymnastics. I'm not sold on Phelps winning the 200m breaststroke.
