First Game of the Medal Rounds
August 22, 2008
Well tonight is our first game of the medal rounds. It is a must win in order to have a chance at gold. We play Cuba and they are going to be really tough. But you have to beat the best in order to be the best. Haven’t really done much since our last game. My family and I were at the softball gold medal game. It was a fun game to watch but I just felt for the USA girls because I feel like they deserved that gold more than anybody. You could tell they were heartbroken. They played a tough game. I am upset about what happened at the game too. It was supposed to rain so they handed out ponchos to everybody. Well, when it rained, I put my poncho on. When I got home I realized that my yellow poncho bled onto my jeans. If they are ruined I am going to be very mad.
On a different note, I am really nervous about tonights game. I know we can beat these guys but I am really tired of close games. I swear I am aging incredibly fast out here due to the emotional roller coaster this Olympics have been. We will have to see how it goes.

Congratulations, you truly deserve that medal. At last with your dedication and hard work you did it. Hope for more wins and achievement. Anyway, in relation to sport issues, did you know the latest? In sport world the news of Shaq traded to Cavs is of special significance because that means that the basketball sensation of the least decade will be playing alongside LeBron James. He was traded from the Phoenix Suns, after spending time with the Miami Heat, and a previous stint famously playing alongside Kobe Bryant on the Los Angeles Lakers under Phil Jackson. The trade included a draft pick, and also Shaq traded to Cavs for some fast cash, and its likely Shaq will never need personal loans as long as he lives.
Nice post. It is both informative and insightful. Very interesting topic. Thank you very much for providing this information. Keep on posting. Job well done.
