An all-Chinese women's singles table tennis
Today there was nothing special for the whole family. My daughter was continuing with her piano class in the morning, and in the aftenoon, she finished another three consonants and also did it very well. My wife stayed at home all day and went to work all night.
During other time, we were watching the Olympic games live. In the evening just-finished table tennis event, Zhang Yining, the defender of this event, edged her teammate, Wang Nan, to the title, and her another teammate, Guo Yue settled for bronze. Zhang won 4-1, becoming the third Chinese table tennis player to pocket four Olympic golds, after legendary Deng Yaping and Grand Slam veteran Wang.
This is the first time at this Olympic Games that three five-star red flags was hoisted at the same time at the same stadium at the same event at the same Olympic Games. All the spectators present were singing the national anthem together with our players on the podium, all with excited tears in their eyes.

Two sprint gold medals winner Usain Bolt led Jamaica to the men's 4x100 meters win with a new world record. Bolt, who broke both the 100m and 200m world records en route to the gold medals, ran the third leg and gave the Jamaicans a big lead before handing the baton to his compatriot, the former world 100m record holder. His teammate easily anchored the race in 37.10 seconds, breaking the previous mark of 37.40 set by the United States in the 1992 Olympic Games.
A total of 37 world records had been broken at the Beijing Olympic Games by August 21.
We are all proud of their amazing presentation at the stadiums.
