Day 2 - Gold Medal Grandma

August 8th.

Still stuck with our only action coming from the pool but we did get the pleasure of Michael Phelps winning his 89th Olympic medal And Katie Ledecky showing she's probably the single most dominant athlete in the world right now.

All told, 55,900 metres was added to our total bringing us to 135,400m for this games giving Rio a lead over London of 7,600m so far.

Totals:

Swimming: 135,400m
Running: 0m
Jumping: 0m
Throwing: 0m

Total: 135,400m

Hero of the day:

Britain's Adam Peaty broke his own world record to record the country's first Mens Swimming Gold since Seoul 1988, proper hero stuff. The real hero though is not Adam but his number 1 fan, his Grandma Mrs. Mavis Williams. Congratulations Mrs. Williams, we could all do with someone like you in our corner.

See you all tomorrow.
