American swimmer, Michael Phelps got the first gold of the Olympics and broke a world record, but China have more.
Official Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Thread
I think that's medal total. The BBC has China first (now with 5 gold), South Korea second and USA third.
"Britain has won their first gold medal.Yay us!!
Nichole Cooke in the women's cycling road race."
"China V USA today in basketball!"Just started watching and China are in the lead.
"The Spartan said:Yup. Agreed 100%"sha (green) said:No, Brazil HAS THAT."maybe soccer"I don't know, I think Brazil might have that."
No contest.

Joga bonito, joga mais lindo q/ todos. Joga como Brasileiro joga.....danca seu futebol."
GO USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you just see that? After France came there to "crush the US" they got stomped! For the US in men's swimming, Lezak came in there to just close the gap the French had and win it for the US, setting a new world record.
"King Saturn said:HELL YES ! Dwayne Wade torched that China Teams Defense too"USA Basketball put a hurting on Yao Ming and China this morning"
Yeah did you see LB23 go get that ball, for a 2 handed block off the glass? SICK!"
"USA USA USA SUCK IT FRANCE"Did you see Bernard afterward? He was all quiet and stuff. It was great!
GO USA!!!
"Hahaha "We will crush the Americans, it's what we cam here to do." Who's talkin' now Bernard? Why dont you go cry about it some more"lmao
"Now America is winning in medals after last night right?"USA's winning China by one medal...
It's not the number of medals, but the number of gold medals that are important. Silver and bronze only count where there are ties. That is why China is on top of the league table.

Yay!
"Damn straight.Go team USA. We are beastin who saw the basketball game against china. no one was better then Labron that day

In Women's Beach Volleyball, Misty May-Treamor and Kerri Walsh had an outstanding match against Belgium. The first heat was so close. Just when it looked like Belgium was going to win, May and Walsh came back and won by a single point. However, in the second heat the US won by (I think) 11 points. Very well done there. I want to see them face the Brazillian team. That will be incredible to watch.
What can I say? Michael Phelps is a swimming machine. Not only did he win ANOTHER gold medal, but he did so in yet another world record fashion.
Nastia Liukin just did an incredible job in the individual competition in Women's Gymnastics. Even after the questionable scoring on her vault (which was PERFECTION) and the uneven bars, she came back to win the gold. It's great to see how far she's come. Best of luck to her and her family.
Go USA!
Why did this happen? Nastia Liukin has done such a tremendous job! She tied for first place! Why couldn't they just give her the gold medal?
Check the official scores for yourself.
I can't believe how well Britain are doing in these olympics. Third on the table for us is AMAZING. 16 Gold medals. I'm not used to us doing well in sporting events, so these are new feelings for me.
