A Spectacular Finish

Well, curtain has finally come down on the eastern spectacle (otherwise referred to as the Beijing Olympics). These games may have arguably gone down as the most over-the-top yet incredibly well managed Olympics in recent history. From the very opening itself, to countless new world records set both in swimming and track, to the triumphs and the painfully disappointing losses (especially for many of our top prospects here in the US).

Overall I think London will have a lot to live up to as the follow-up act to the show the Chinese put on these past weeks. I'm personally kinda bummed out at the fact that my time to post was taken up during this last week (of all the days really
