USA vs Nigeria Table Tennis

USA had 2 ladies originally from China and they played double and singles. They played against Nigeria and it was a rather boring bout. Nigeria would either hit it out of bounds, hit the net or miss the ball. The only time they scored a point was when USA messed up and USA had one amateur player.

Boring...

Asahi JPN

Asahi from Japan is like another Dalhausser. He blocked like almost everything USA threw at Japan. They were playing against Gibbs and forgot the partner's name. Anyways I didn't see the final round of the volleyball match but it looked like Japan was winning. When I looked online later it said that USA won. Asahi was so close.

Men's AA Gymnastics Final

The All Around Gymnastics was on yesterday and Yang Wei won China gold. When Yang messes up on something he covers it up really good with something that looks nice. Also the things he does is really high in difficulty. USA took bronze I think? USA was good but they all had their own special talents on each round. Yang Wei managed to be the best at every event.

Track and Field Training

I started to do training for Spring's track and field. I ran Buddy around Elk Grove in the morning, went to the gym to build up cardio and lift weights and then at 4 I sparred with Mike and Matt. Unfortunately they always choose to spar in the heat and don't spar very long. I was kind of disappointed that we talked most of the time and did less excercise... But at night I replaced that training time with some running on Wii Fit and balance tests.

Oh I unlocked this game where I just have to sit still for 3 minutes and I get 100% score on it since its so easy.

Gymnastics 8/11

Japan struggled yesterday, but China and USA were both competitive. I didn't get to see who won because I was too tired from basketball fellowship that I fell asleep...

Michael Phelps Wins Again

He has just set a new world record as well as winning all gold medals yesterday night!

CHN USA medals standings

China has 9 gold medals, 3 silver medals, 2 bronze medals so far.
USA has 3 gold medals, 4 silver medals, 5 bronze medals so far.

Switzerland Legend

Roger Ferderer, the best tennis player in the world, the legend won the first round of tennis singles. Everyone was watching the game even LeBron James from the USA basketball team. The match between Dmitry Tursinov and Roger Ferderer was exciting.

Ferderer is on most of the tennis games on the game system cases...

Dalhausser and Roger Volleyball Duo

Dalhausser is one tall dude. He blocked about every spike the Switzerland team used. This USA team is one good one. With Dalhausser blocks and spikes and Roger's quickness and excellent measuring skills they make one tough team to beat. Switzerland was doing good but couldn't manage to spike the ball passed Dalhausser's block.

Weightlifting China

China won weightlifting and took the GOLD. Awesome job!

Zhang Xiangxiang won the 62kg men's weightlifting. Xiangxiang was going to attempt lifting a new world record of 404 lbs. Though he didn't finish it, it was a good attempt.
Chen Yangqing won the 58kg women's weightlifting.

Oscar Figuero from Columbia hurt his thumb so he was at a really hard disadvantage for lifting up weights but his partner Diego Salazar got silver in the competition.

Archery China

China Taipei (Taiwan) beat USA in archery by 11 points. They were shooting all 10s and 9s. USA was almost tied. Right now China is playing against Great Britain and Great Britain is leading by 35 points.

Edit at 8:13 PM: China wins by 3 points!

Now its Australia vs Poland and they have some awesome music by Tank (Chinese Rock)playing.

Bike Racing in Rain

Well I was watching the bike race this afternoon and it started to rain making the roads slippery. They were racing on one side of the Great Wall and I noticed that it was the area that I walked by last year (the area I got lost at). Bikers fell from the slippery road and looks like they came out uninjured which was good. I think someone from Australia accidentally hit someone from Korea causing six others to fall.

USA vs China Basketball

I didn't see it yet, but I read that China lost... I'm both nationalities so I want to see the game. Thankfully NBC has put the game on their site so I'm going to watch it later.

It was Yao vs NBA!

Gymnastics and Volleyball Tonite

The USA team for gymnastics was amazing. This one guy scored a 15. 9 with a difficulty of 6.1 because he was going like super speed!!! Also I was watching USA vs Japan Women's volleyball and they were hitting it back and forth. It was good. But then there was Austria vs China Men's volleyball and those guys on the China team are strong and tall.

MGS Music during Badmitton

Ireland vs Germany was tonight. The badmitton game between Scot Evans and Marc Zweibler was intense. They were hitting the whiffle back and forth just like tennis balls. Anyways what was really funny was that they had Metal Gear Solid's song from Brawl "Encounter" during their 1 minute break time. I was going to show my brother but he was too busy playing Wii Fit.

The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

This movie was okay. I was kind of disappointed that Jet Li was a really cheap mummy with so many powers including shapeshifting... There were too many guns involved and a lot of things didn't make sense like how did an ancient Chinese mummy understand English when he only spoke Chinese. Otherwise I thought it was an okay movie. A lot of comedy put into it.

WTF: The Net

So I was playing Work Time Fun again and I got this really great game called "The Net". At first I had no idea what to do since you don't really do anything on this game so I looked at gamefaqs and it says you have to wait a time limit then reel in fish with the analog stick. The longest I've tried waiting but failed was 5 hours, lol.
