Six Gold Medals

The most ever in a single day for Britain and what was accomplished on day 10 of the 2012 Olympics.

Of course we are extremely excited when the US wins, but what makes the Olympics so special is the enthusiastic cheers and standing ovations by everyone for all outstanding athletes and the excitement at an unexpected upset.

Trampoline was our first sport of the day. The US held on, but then it was Canada and Japan. The last competitor was the favored to win Japanese. She fell off the tramp to gasps from the crowd. Cheers then went up for what was surely two Canadian medals. Then a huge unexpected upset - Gold to a first time Canadian medal winner, with silver and bronze going to Japan, pushing out the 2008 Canadian medal winner. A hum of surprise and then huge cheers all around.

Simultaneously an off the radar event. The synchronized filming event as dozens of cameras move up and down to the movement of the gymnasts. Medal winners TBD.

Swimming in the evening ended that sport for the 2012 Olympic. The events were many, with several outstanding highlights. Women's relay resulted in a strong US gold with Australia and Japan medaling.

The Men's events held the show stoppers. The men's 1500 meter Chinese winner was nearly disqualified when he mistakenly dove into the pool before the start. Sun Yang set a new world record, winning by a full 8 seconds! His boyish excitement sent the entire stadium into non-ending cheers, something to long remember.

Men's relay was the long awaited event of the night. A close US win, included Michael Phelps in what is considered to be his last Olympic trial. A standing ovation from all countries at the win and while team US took their victory walk around the pool. A special Phelp's Olympic tribute followed.

How loud is the cheering? We could hear swells in our the aquatic hiuse from the track stadium on the other side of the red reporting tower - a good 5-7 minute walk. Records were being broken there. British gold was collected by Jessica Ennis for women's heptathlon. Mo Farah's for the 10,000 meter - the first Brit runner to ever win Gold. No wonder the stadium screamed itself hoarse.

What can we say. Win or loose, everyone goes home smiling and inspired.
