Thank you Sir... The current standing clearly shows the positive sign to the change of world sports power. China is expected to be the Number 1 in the overall final ranking.

Also, we've witnessed how supportive the Koreans to their athletes by watching their events on TV at home and set on public places.

For those people diehard in sports like me Very Happy

, here are the most exciting, thrilled, and awaited outcome of 2008 Summer Olympic...

1) Michael Phelps of USA in his attempt and drive to won eight olympic golds in swimming, the very first in human history. As yesterday, he has 2 gold medals already.
2) The redemption of USA mens' national basketball team " The Dream Team". As we know, USA team failed to win golds both Olympic and World Championship since 2002.
3) Offcourse, the chase of Philipine first gold medal. Good luck to Philippine team!
4) The overall final olympic medal ranking. As we know, USA is always on top in the previous summer olympics ranking but this time China would like to turn the wheel.
