dtd2 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Cancellara is from Switzerland. So glad to see the Americans sweep fencing. The medal ceremony was great to watch. Also USA on top in total medals, the American are off to a great start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonafin Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Damn, no medals for Australia yet, but hey its still just the first day and our main events haven't happened had a final yet.... so fingers crossed for a lot more medals.... USA has definately got a hard job in front of them, especially considering the strength of China at these games (home town advantage and all that).... personally, I would rather see China top the medal tally, though I love the USA, it would just be refreshing to see another country in the top position, kinda knock the Americans off their high hats, give them something to work for in future games.. .... maybe in Chicago... but yeah, still along way to go....
