Olympics Fever - Triumphs

First of all I apologize for my absence, it is mostly due to college. Moving in, shopping, orientation, registration the whole shibang.

I should be settled and back on track by September.

So on to the Olympics....Michael Phelps. He did it!

He did the unthinkable...he is now officially Superman. He won EVERY SINGLE RACE!

He achieved his goal, his dream, to get 8 gold medals in one Olympic and he did it. He beat Spitz, he's the most decorated Olympian of all time and that makes him VERY special.

He's pretty awesome and he's so young too. I can't wait to see him in London. Are you excited?

Another athlete that made history was Jamaica's very own Usain Bolt.

He took the gold medal in both the 100m and the 200m finals which hasn't been done since 1984.

But that feat isn't what shot him into the history books, it was the fact that he took both medals with world records which has NEVER been done before.

He smashed his own world record of 9.72 in the 100m with a whopping 9.69. He also broke Michael Johnson's twelve year 19.32 200m record with his 19.30 sprint.

And did anyone see that 100m womens final. Jamaica took a clean sweep. Gold and tied for silver. I mean what more could you ask for.

This type of sportmanship is what the Olympics is all about.

Jamaica has been doing very well in the games placing 4th in Track and Field and 22nd overall according to Yahoo Sports with 7 medals, 4 gold and 3 silver. I mean for a small island that is AWESOME!

And who could forget Yelena Isinbayeva's gold medal pole vaulting skills and her world record, third try, nail biting, edge of your seat vault over the 16'6¾" high pole.

That was her 24th world record. She is also very special and I can't wait to see her in London.

What are your highlights of the Olympics so far?
