Usain Bolt may be a bit (okay, not really a bit) full of himself in interviews, but that doesn't stop the fact that with six gold medals, four world records, and the famed "triple double" he deserves to be proud.
The women's 4x400 meter proved once again that the real story of these Olympics has been the American women. From swimming to gymnastics to track, they have dominated. From left-to-right, Francena McCorory, Alyson Felix, Sanya Richards-Ross, and Deedee Trotter. Felix deserves a particular shout-out, as she is the first American woman since Flo-Jo to take three golds in one Olympics.
And, also, congrats to David Boudia, who made me cry so bad that it repeated when the Visa commercial came-on for Morgan Freeman and again for the medal ceremony. Here's some of my favorite divers for the 10m platform:
Nick McCrory and David Boudia
Bronze medalist Tom Daley
Australian and Beijing gold medalist Matthew Mitcham
Wow...I'm going to miss the Olympics for so many reasons! ;)
