Summer Olympics

The Summer Olympics have proved to be full of suprises already with the 38 year old Alexander Vinokurov winning Gold in the Biking race. But perhaps the more suprising news was Michael Phelps competing in the swimming qualifier and placing 8th and last in the semifinals by beating another swimming only by .7seconds. This even though I and many others doubted he would win the gold medal, was very suprising to see him barely qualify to compete for the gold. The Olympics continue tonight at 7pm eastern standard time on nbc.
