Day 5, Wednesday August 1st

The medals keep flowing on Day 5, just too few on my team.

Can I rant for a minute about Kosuke Kitajima?  What a bum.  Double gold medal favorite to double 4th place.  Ugh.  My swimming total is 0.  I should have picked basically ANYONE on the US team and would have gotten points.  Big lesson for Rio in 2016...


Overall it's a pretty tight leaderboard.  Lots of swimming points keep accumulating for everyone but me.  Fish and Chips of Gold continues a stellar, balanced performance with multiple medals across multiple disciplines.  The Dream Team holds true to the moniker by earning the first team gold medal with his Germany Eights Sculls Rowing win.  

My shining star - Ding Ning, taking the Silver in Table Tennis.  What a great name.

After 5 planes in 2 days, I'm tired so not much other update for now, but things should be very interesting tomorrow night with the girls gymnastics showdown.

  1. I can relate to swimmer disillusionment. :(

  2. In your case it's more swimmer equalization.
