    It is because India's gold medal is a very rare event whereas China's gold medals are not.

    It is India's first ever individual gold in Olympics....in more than 80 years.

    Many Indians weren't really expecting medals in this Olympics....:D.

    Congratulations to Bindra for aquiring the first individual Goal Medal in Shooting for India.

    Saina Nehwal is also a promising candidate.

    There are still lots of medals to come......

    Cheers for India....

    Well if she won next match then we can ensure Bronze Medal from her. She looks good and after beating World No.4, she is looking for Gold.

    Who saw the USA Men's 4x100 (swimming relay) OWN France last night (~13.5 hours ago)?
    THAT WAS AWESOME!!! :):):):)

    best part was that France was talking smack prior to the race...'we are going to smash the Americans, that's what we came here to do'

    How do you like me now!!
    USA! USA!

    I was watching this last night and it was an incredible race. That was quite a comeback and I love it when people get all cocky and talk trash only to get beaten and leave with their heads down. The US team said they would do their talking in the pool and not engage in the trash talking. That is how it should be done, with class.

    That race was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen in my life. They were so far ahead of the world record line. My heart started to sink when France pulled away, then all of sudden the guy stiffened up. Talked all that smack, and didn't get the win LOL. Moments like that is what makes the Olympics so awesome.
