The Fab Five lived up to their pre-Olympic hype. The US women’s gymnastics team was magnificent on the vault and floor exercise as they took the gold medal yesterday It’s the second time the US has won the competition, and the first time since 1996. There’s still more gymnastics action in prime time tonight, as John Orozco and Danell Leyva represent the US in the men’s all around competition. History was made in the pool last night as Michael Phelps won two more medals, one of them gold, to become the most decorated Olympic competitor ever. Phelps won’t swim in either the men’s finals tonight – the 100 free and the 200 breaststroke. The women’s finals tonight are the 4×200 free relay and the 200 butterfly. Elsewhere, American flag-bearer Mariel Zagunis goes for her third straight gold in women’s sabre fencing; the US women’s volleyball team looks to go 3-0 as they face China, and US women’s basketball takes on Turkey.
