OS VI

It looked quite dull yesterday, but it sort of picked up in the evening by Sweden beating Canada in football. I didn’t get to watch it though.
Then it was followed by Stefan Nystrand qualifying for 100m freestyle swimming final. Anything better than his qualifying place of five is OK.
The table tennis team lost, as expected, to South Korea.
Emma Samuelsson have beaten the odds and qualified for the quarter final in fencing, were she will face the world number one. Goof luck
Lassi Karhonen also beating the odds and winning is semi. A medal would really be a bonus. The final is on Friday or Saturday.
Some mixed fortunes for Malaysia, as on archer missed out when it in the last round but one left in the round of 16 and another coming up later. And Magnus Pettersson is still left as well.
We lost to South Korea in handball though, but that was not unexpected though.
And Phelps has managed to be the most successful Olympic athlete ever, with 11gold, and still aiming for 8 gold in Beijing, which would bring him up to 14 gold. That would probably be unbeatable, unless he continue and compete in London.
