Sounds like a hard working capitalist. Kudos to him though, in what I saw of him he was very impressive.

Russia wins 55kg as well I think. With their big name wrestlers still to come, they've got to be the runaway favorites to win the team title now.

Maybe in your mother country, but no so much here.

I mean in an objective world. To prepare say 10 Olympic champions in wrestling is way harder than one swimming phenom in my opinion.

Finally something Big and I can agree about.

One great swimmer is a freak. But 10 great wrestlers is a total program dominance. Even 5 golds would be incredible.

The Russians seem to have brought there "A" game so far.

No way. Phelps is dominating the rest of the world and now has won more Olympic medals than anyone else in history.
Whether or not you like swimming or think its fair that they can win multiple medals, Phelps is the story of this Olympics.

Well congrats to both Russia's Nazyr Mankiev and Islam-Beka Albiev for winning gold in both of their weight classes. They both looked completely dominate throughout the day, especially in the finals. Before the Olympics I didn't expect Russia to win gold in the lower weight classes for Greco-Roman, maybe bronze or silver but not gold. With those two wins, I wouldn't be surprised if Russia won the next 5 weight classes. The thing that impressess me the most is the fact that Islam-Beka Albiev is only 19 years old. I expect to see great things from both of these wrestlers in the future with the dominance they had throughout the day.
