2008 Summer Olympics Day:Shawn Johnson Breaks Gets Gold

Shawn Johnson had been so close but yet still so far away for most of the Bejing Olympics. Racking up the silver and the bronze medals. But Tuesday night, it was her time to shine, earning gold on the balance beam competition.

Track and field is saving the American legacy. Despite setbacks in the 100m, the U.S. has stepped up big time and taken the intermediate races.

In other news, the rumors that Bolt may have thrown his race in the 100m just so he could go back and break his world record yet again are crazy. There is no way his mental clock was that quick that he knew he at a world record clip that he could pull up with 20 metres to go. Sorry conspiracy hounds, you're going to have to jump on another topic.
