Not to take anything away from the US teams, but my favorite moment so far of these Olympics has been this guy from Togo winning that country's FIRST EVER MEDAL! The dude broke his paddle over his own boat!
I will say though, that the US Men's Gymnastic team winning the bronze, then running around flexing and loudly exclaiming "This is how we do it!" was a little demoralizing. The swimming... well, you probably already know about that.

I will say one thing, though. When did fencing opt for these shiny electronic suits? Call me nostalgic, but now it looks like you're watching robots fight. and we all know there's been enough robot bloodshed. or oilshed.

and Russia... sigh.
