Olympics!

I like the olympics. I usually never pay much attention to sports. But something about seeing people my age train their whole lives and then go off and represent their country in front of the entire world grabs my attention. The Olympic Opening Ceremony was amazing, and made me wish I had gone to Beijing. Check it out.

Also, I'd like to point out that a Cal student, Nathan Adrian, just won a gold medal!

Two other students, Natalie Coughlin and Emily Silver (appropriate name) won silvers! There are a record 46 Cal students and alumni in the olympics this year--20 representing the USA and 17 representing other countries. I guess the remaning 9 are coaches and alternates?

And an NCSU student, Cullen Jones, also took a gold medal in the 4x100 men's swimming relay alongside the illustrious Michael Phelps!
