That’s some serious achievement. Congratulations Team China!

The gold of team gymnastics men has come back in Chinese’s hand after 8 years, and a apocalyptic loss 4 years ago. This one should be the most important one for China, maybe for the whole 08 event. Competition was fierce, and US, Japan are chasing right behind us. Fortunately we handled that well enough to preserve the gold medal.

And a BIG surprise comes from the fencing lane. Man Zhong got the gold medal for men saber fencing. Great achievement! Fencing has long been the backyard of europeans and after China’s trio of Chong Ye, Zhaozhi Dong and Haibin Wang, seems that few people could even come close to what Jujie Luan, China’s sole fencing gold medalist, did in LA, 1984.

Nothing to mention on weightlifting and diving medals. We are always good at this.

By the way, can someone stop Phelps? He’s just unstoppable in the pool… he beat Park in 200m freestyle with a record-breaking time, and got his 3rd gold of the event. He is tied for the greatest gold harvester all-time, will it be his sole lead? I do agree so.
