Olympics Day 3

We are entering Day 3 of the London Olympics.It has been well underway (London is +5hours ahead of NYC) so I will do my best to report on the major stories, USA stories.

USA swimming has lost a stroke since 2008 games: One of the premier events at the summer Olympics is always the swimming.  This past weekend was not one of our better days.  While Ryan Lochte won gold in the 400  Individual Medley and "Medal Mike" Michael Phelps came in 4th. The biggest let down in the news is that the USA  lost to France in the 4x100m Freestyle Relay. Hopefully its a wake up call for everyone.

Ryan Lochte is my guy. How can't you root for him?  You may think this is a bit tacky but deep down you know it is awesome and you wish you had the coin to purchase one.

"In Your Dreams" Team beats France 98-71: I'm sure you have read and seen highlights of the game by now.  Not going to beat a dead horse with information.  Michelle Obama was there cheering them on and hugged each and every player, for those keeping score at home.



Medal Count :  China has 12 (6G:4S:2B)  USA has 11 (3G:5S:3B) Italy has 8 (2G:4S:1B).  The Stars and Stripes need to up the efforts are start winning some G's.  I am sure George Steinbrenner, the famous Yankee owner and Team USA supporter, is firing Billy Martin rolling in his grave with every contest result that does not bring home a Gold medal. Let's win it for the Boss


That is all for now...time to do some work and watch some Olympics in between Jim Cramer ranting on CNBC.
