Day 5 Results - Emma and John Hit the Century Mark

Michael Phelps has now won 5 gold medals and broken 5 world records in 5 days. He's on pace for 16 Golds and 16 WRs...and I like his odds!

Fairing much better is Emma with her 30 gold medals. She's on pace for 129 by the time the torch is extinguished. That would put her in some pretty exclusive company with only Kim Jong-il in the 120+ Gold Medal club.

Scott and Megan M. continue to battle it out for the bronze position, but many remain within striking distance with 232 medals to go.

We're happy to see Izzy earn a few more medals today putting her narrowly in front of Canada and the Vatican City for the games. She'll be happy to know that, on a per capita basis, she is fairing much better than the Bell Family with their measly 18 1/3 points each.

It's ok Shelli. At least you are not one of those silly people who actually believe the Chinese government's claim that their women's gymnastics team are not really a bunch of ten year olds. Or are you?????
