China was finally able to take home the men’s Gymnastics gold that they were expected to win 4 years ago. Winning seven of the last eight world titles and carrying the weight of a country’s hopes, China performed under immense pressue and was able to atone its collapse in Athens.
In swimming, Phelps’ count is at 3 (gold medals and world records). Coughlin wins her 100m backstroke gold while repping the Bay. Peirsol and Grevers take the top two spots in 100m backstroke.

Where’s the post about the Chinese “Women’s” Gymnastics team, or do you not want to get labeled a potential child pornography site?

Thanks so much for the comment!
I actually saw the Chinese Girls team for the first time yesterday and decided that I will never post about them because they creep me out. And because I deeply respect Sacramone.
