Favorite Olympic Moment: Michael Phelps Breaks Record
While the opening ceremony and women's gymnastics nearly tied for silver, Michael Phelps's record-breaking performance won him yet another gold. With 54 percent of your votes, he easily dove into the Best of 2008 on both our poll and Pop's poll.
He's still soaking in the gold light while promoting his book, posing for magazine covers, and appearing on talk shows like the Colbert Report.
Announcing the 2009 Emmy Winners!
Well, the Emmys are over, and we have our full list of winners. Were you guys surprised by this year's picks? (Check out all my Emmy polls here.) I thought the show started out pretty unexpectedly when underdogs Kristin Chenoweth and Toni Collete took home trophies, and there were a few other surprises along the way.
Crossing the Finish Line: The Final Medal Count
To the relief of some, the Olympics games are over and the final medal count is in.
Although the US team heads home with the largest total number of medals, 123, China won the most gold. Over half the Chinese 100 medals were gold.
Beckham Helps Close One Olympics and Kick Off London 2012
David Beckham made the trek to Beijing to participate in last night's closing ceremony, where the honor of the Summer Olympics was handed off to London for the 2012 games. His appearance was brief — he basically just kicked the ball while Leona Lewis sang with Jimmy Page — but he also found time to play spectator a bit while he was in town. While the Beijing games were likely the most watched Olympics in history, there are some people who are probably relieved they're over.
Olympic Pick-Me-Ups
After watching the US women's gymnastics team take a few painful tumbles last night, my mood picked up considerably while watching swimming. The US men's 4x100 meter freestyle relay had me on the edge of my seat and tense for just over three minutes — 3:08.24 to be exact — and their win had me dancing in my living room at midnight.
The US relay team beat their French rivals and broke a world's record while winning the gold.
