Great Day for Team USA!

Today, Michael Phelps won his 19th Olympic medal, making him the most decorated Olympian of all time. His career has spanned the course of four Olympic Games. He still has two chances left in London to become only one of three swimmers to win the same individual event at three different Olympic Games. He will arguably go down in history as one of the greatest Olympians and swimmers of all time.

Also at the Olympics today, USA's Women's Gymnastics Team won gold. The first team gold for the USA since the 1996 Olympic Games were Kerri Strug famously stuck the landing (with a broken ankle) on her vault routine. The Americans beat silver medalist Romania by 5 points. A huge feat when you think about how many 1/10th of a point deductions there are.
