And then, five kilometers through the women's 10,000m final, there were three. Hitting the 5,000m mark at 16 minutes, 10 seconds, the lead pack of Shalane Flanagan, Kara Goucher and Amy Yoder Begley had virtually closed the race to the other competitors. Happy to keep with the pack for four kilometers, Flanagan darted to the lead and turned a pedestrian pace into one that, while still off the American record by one minute, was still too fast for everybody else.

Olivia Vivian was stunned.
"I don't know how many eye lashes I have wished upon for this result," Vivian wrote in her blog. "The feeling I have right now is indescribable! The feeling of living your dream, achieving your goal - although it's not complete yet!"
Oregon State gymnastics recruit Vivian is one of six gymnasts nominated to form Australia's women's artistic gymnastics team for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Is there something in the water in Houston?
Last week Astro's pitcher Shawn Chacon performed his best Hulk Hogan imitation, taking down his general manager in the clubhouse cafeteria. Now Red Sox embattled - and sometimes ridiculous - left fielder Manny Ramirez is in the news for a similar attack, this one taking place in Houston where the Red Sox were playing a three-game interleague series this past weekend.

Alright class, the grades are in and I have good news for some of you. I did not grade on a curve and no one failed, but some of you didn't make the honor roll. Have these report cards signed by your coaches and returned to me by next semester.
