At the Olympics

If you were watching women's gymnastics, no, you weren't mistaken - team captain Mohini Bhardwaj and vault specialist Annia Hatch are both in their twenties. Yes - they actually have women on the U.S. women's gymnastics team!
Japanese swimmer Kosuke Kitajima edged out American Brendan Hansen in the men's 100-meter breaststroke. The only American swimmer who didn't accuse Kitajima of cheating - they complained he made an illegal dolphin kick - was Brendan Hansen himself; he was a good sport, happy with the silver medal. Losing graciously - what a concept!
(By the way, how can one kick like a dolphin? Dolphins don't have legs! :-) )
