Yay! Three more medals for Canada today, in men's Judo, women's synchronized diving, and in women's weightlifting ... first ever woman to win a weightlifting medal for Canada.
Go Canucks!
So, that brings our total to four medals so far (all bronze) on day 4, while in Beijing 4 years ago, we didn't get our first medal of the games until day 8.
Interesting to note that the first bronze medal we got yesterday, also in women's synchronized diving, the older member of the pair won a medal in four straight Olympic games, a first for Canadian athletes. I also heard that the American woman who won in skeet shooting got her medal in her fifth straight Olympic games, an American record.
....Plus, let's not forget American swimmer Michael Phelps, who got two more medals today and is now the most decorated Olympic athlete in history, with 18 medals in total. And who knows how long his Beijing record of 8 gold medals in one game will stand!
So inspiring!
