The dramatic onslaught of the Beijing Olympic games 2008!

Four days ago, the 2008 Olympic games started in Beijing. It will continue for twelve more days, and NBC reported that ratings for the Opening Ceremonies were the most watched non-U.S. Olympic Games in history. That is incredible! US Swimmer Michael Phelps has already won four gold medals, and he is vying for eight golds at these Olympic games. So far, two nations are duking it out for the top spot in the medal tracker. These two nations are Team USA and the host country, China. Actually, I can't wait until the Track and Field part of the competition starts. I will have to wait until August 15. Then, Tyson Gay will battle the duo from Jamaica, Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell, for the title of world's fastest man! Plus, the US basketball team hopes to win gold in the men's & women's competition. The Olympics are always fun to watch and hope your favorite athlete performs at the highest level! Go Kobe and Team USA!
