American Michael Phelps swims into history with his 8th and final Gold this year.
He won't have to share the "Athlete with most gold medals in a single Olympics" title with compatriot Mark Spitz, who did this 36 years ago in the Munich Games.
United States team in the Men's 4 x 100m Medley Relay clocked 3:29.34, lowering their worldrecord time of 3:30.68 set in Athens 2004. The US team had gone into the race as defending Olympic champions and fastest qualifiers.
Closer to home, Singapore Table Tennis Women's Team...
The *Silver medal* for Singapore which will end their 48-year-long void of Olympic medals!

Olympics Behind the Television
The managing director of Olympic Broadcasting Services, Manolo Romero is currently stationed in Beijing to cover the 2008 Summer Games.
As chief executive officer of BOB (Beijing Olympics Broadcasting), Romero took a few minutes out of his busy day to receive interviewers from the BOCOG official website to talk about his experience, now that the Beijing Olympic Games has reached its midpoint.
Romero's staff works to provide worldwide broadcasting companies with more than 5,000 hours of footage, all in high definition, a first in Olympic coverage history.
When satellites started half a century ago, he remembers, television was black and white. For Romero, the Beijing Games is a big challenge. With cultural differences and language barriers in the way, communication can be difficult, but he thinks his crew handles every situation the best way it can.
The footage they have provided to broadcasters, including NBC, have been received quite positively.
Also, if you do are still in the dark, next Olympics will be held in London in 2012.

Olympics News
So much to talk about from Day Fourteen of Beijing 2008 – The Unites States "Dream Team" redeeming itself by reaching the Men's Basketball final and China's triumphant trio of Women's Table Tennis medalists, is just one part.
But where else can we start than the National Stadium where the undisputed king and queen of the track have reigned supreme: middle distance runner Tirunesh Dibaba and the sprint-king man of the moment Usain Bolt, whose world record breaking, gold medal grabbing antics just keep on rolling.
Let's start with Bolt. Tonight was Jamaica's chance to seize their first 4 x 100 meters final – a relative breeze with defending champions Great Britain and traditional powerhouse, the United States, both disqualified.
So did Bolt, Asafa Powell, Nesta Carter, and Michael Frater simply stroll around the Birds Nest – not for a moment. Instead they set a new world record of 37.10. Bolt's third this week. Trinidad and Tobago captured silver, while Japan took the bronze.
However it wasn't quite the same Jamaican joy in the Women's 4 x 100m though, who joined in the baton-dropping mayhem that beset the United States Men's and Women's teams.
Guilty parties this time were 100m silver medalist Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart of Jamaica, who fumbled the baton, and knocked Great Britain off track with them.
The Russia quartet Evgeniya Polyakova, Aleksandra Fedoriva, Yulia Gushchina and Yuliya Chermoshanskaya seized their chance to win in a time of 42.31. The silver medal went to Belgium and bronze to Nigeria.
P.S. Thank you Admins for making this blog wonderful! Of course, to everyone who have visited this site. Tell those who have not to take a look too! Everyone of you play an important part!
