Shawn Johnson finally got the gold medal she came to Beijing for in the balance beam on Tuesday.

"I finished off the Olympic Games with, to me, the most perfect ending ever," Johnson said, beaming as she tugged at the ribbon around her neck. "To finally get the gold medal ... on my very last routine meant the world to me.""

I was just about to tell him the same thing.  I watched that performance on the beam.  It was awesome.

About the Chinese gymnasts, I knew something was going to happen when I heard the old American coach talk about it last week.  Someone was going to do some digging.

 



Hi, this is Vince with Shamwow.

Holland got its 7th gold medal by winning the hockey final for women! We started off by almost only getting bronze medals, but now we actually have more gold medals than silver or bronze.

@konnichiwa: Congratulations, Belgium finally got a medal at the 4x100 meter relay for women!

There's something wrong with that table, we (Argentina) don't have 4 bronzes, we've got 3.

I'm off to see basketball, today we beat the Dream Team
