then there are the smaller heroes who deserve mentioning as well, Matthew Mitcham (below), an Australian diver won Gold in his 10m Platform event, crashing Chinas hopes for a clean-sweep of Golds at diving (GO MATT!), scoring a 112.10 in his final dive, the highest single-dive score in Olympic history, and he is the first Aussie male to win an Olympic Gold medal in diving since 1924.
Novak Djokovic of Serbia, delivered their first medal in Tennis, taking Bronze (GO NOVAK!!... no pics sadly)
so it's another 4 years before it all starts over again, (maybe Phelps wants 9 Golds next time?) 2012 in London, and I must say the little peak into what it'll look like in 2012 got me intrigue.
and I have an uncanny feeling that I sound like a journalist for the above post....
