First Gold Goes to US!
Wow, it was fun watching Michael Phelps with the first Gold medal! I was stunned when he popped out of the water after winning and he wasn't even breathing hard! Amazing. Makes me want to swim more for just because it's such a healthy sport.
It was a little disconcerting, however, during the awards ceremony on the podium when he was chatting with teammate Lochte who won the bronze. Is that protocol? Just not sure; it was probably just nervous excitement.
