As all of you would know the 2008 olympics have been of for about a week and half. Australia has been doing pretty well as we are coming 4th on the Gold Medal Tally with 8 Gold, we are also coming 3rd on the Total medal tally with 29 medals. Most of these have been in swiming. We are coming 2nd in the swiming medal tally with a total of 20.

Most of these medals have been won by the same people. As we have 3 of the top 4 multiple medal winners. These are Stephanie Rice with 3 Gold medals, Libby Trickett with 2 Gold, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze, Leisel Jones with 2 Gold and 1 Silver. We should have at least 4 more Gold Medal's because 4 of our World Record Holders have lost their races.

Grant Hacket narrowly lost his 1500m FS race today which if he won he would have the first man to win the race 3 olympics in a row. The man who beat Hackey tested positive to steriods only 18 months ago, this surprised me because I think that it should be 1 strike your out. If you have used Steroids before whats stop you from doing it again.

Drugs aside I am hoping Australia can do well in all the remaining events so that we can either mantain our 4th overall spot or move up to 3rd.
