They call it Super Saturday - midway through the games with tons of medals dropping. For one team, it was more than super.
The Tony Danzas accumulated 38 points on Saturday alone, jumping from 15 points and 10th place to 53 points and 2nd place all on today. Just ridiculous. Matt Grevers is one of the stealth picks of the games, gaining another Gold and 13 points total for swimming. The Danzas kept piling on gold after gold, racking in points in swimming, sprinting, distance running, heptathlon (field), fencing, and tennis. Silvers were claimed in rowing and wildcard sprinting. The laptop aid in the draft appears to be paying off. It only takes one day to make a swing. I'm still waiting on my day. I hope it happens before the next Olympics in Rio.
Swimming is OVER. (Except for the crazy open water swims, but for us-it's over)
Michael Phelps carries the swimming points total, but I thought it would be interesting to see what could have been if we knew more and Sports Illustrated tried a little harder. Here's a big list with some of the top Undrafted talent mixed in:
Oh what could have been...
Team Mad Hatter maintains the lead, but one big blow to her team occurred today when LaShawn Merritt pulled out of the 400m prelim heats with a hurt hamstring. The defending gold medalist is out of the Olympics, and Team Mad Hatter goes from a potential 10 points to 0 for Sprinting. Will it matter? We'll find out! She did get 10 points for stinkin' Badminton so it may not matter.
Here's to an exciting week two of the games!
