Michael Phelps continued his medal hunt with fifth gold. What a performance. I think he will have no problem in breaking Mark Spitz’s 36 years old record of winning 7 gold.
China continue to lead with 22 gold and the nearest rival is USA with 10 gold. Saw picture of President Bush with one of the beach volleyball player. He is still there in Beijing. Wonder who is running the country.
