Phelps gets his first gold and the US sweeps Women's Fencing.
I had no idea we were that good at swords.
We're actually not that good - Mariel Zagunis (who took the gold this year) was the awesome lady who in the 2004 summer Olys got the US it's first fencing gold in 100 years.
The US didn't do so well last night in Men's Epee. I think we've just got a powerhouse in Zagunis.

Wow.
But the original Olympics had no team events and no national teams, it was a celebration of the achievement and ability of the individual athlete. Team sports were explicitly not allowed in the original Ancient Greek Olympics.
IMHO they violate the basic premise of the Olympic spirit.

So do you think they should compete nude and kick out all the women, too?

Fascinating. I love team sports. So does everyone else.

Don't forget the boy-fucking. It's not really an ancient Greek Olympics without some boy-fucking.
