However, I do very much know how short a period if time that is: Twins Georgina and Caroline Evers-Swindell took the gold medal for the women's double rowing. It was literally a photo finish, with a frankly agonising wait to see if New Zealand got gold or silver. I'm not much into rowing, but that was one exciting race (or, finish, anyway).<BR/><BR/>One minor quibble, though: If Phelps has now won 7 gold medals at one Olympics, that means he's tied Zpitz' record, not broken it, no? In any case, not surprisingly, probably, Phelps isn't as big a story here as in the US (though his wins do make the headlines).Arthur Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568299067544221996noreply@blogger.com
