Day 11, Tuesday August 7th

Gymnastics...the drama, the pageantry, the crazy judges, and for Team Mark, the clutch draft picks.


Aly Raisman delivered.  While Gabby, Jordyn, and MaKayla continue to grab the headlines and the nauseating in your face "Make this place your home" promos (and poor Kyla Ross gets to just hang around), Aly stepped up and won Gold in the floor exercise and Bronze on the balance beam.  That makes her the leading point getter for all gymnasts drafted at 11 points.  Granted, this also ties the totals for Zou Kai, of Closet Russian Womens BBall Fan (Wild Card), and Kohei Uchimura of Union Jim, who was the Men's All-Around Champion.

Aly vaulted (pun enforced) Team Mark into 2nd place, along with the efforts of Ivan Ukohv in the High Jump and Alistair Brownlee taking the Triathlon Gold.  However, it is tight at the top.  Caterina Ponor managed a gymnastics silver for Mad Hatter to keep her in first, but many teams are knocking on the door.

And everyone check their email for details on our closing ceremonies for Sunday, graciously hosted by Trent and Kara!
