14-year-old Quan Hongchan scores 2 perfect 10s in historic gold-medal diving performance​

​

She was unreal, and that was epic. May be she was so motivated, because she wants to earn money for her mother's treatment and raise the spirits of her ill mother. I don't think she cracked a smile even after she won. It was steely determination on her face throughout.

WooHoo. One of my favorite Irish athletes, Molly Seidel, just took the bronze medal in the Olympic Marathon. This is only her 3rd marathon and she dueled with the world's best. Well, done, Molly!

Here's a follow-up article on Molly & the Marathon Race. Gives some insight into her perspective, strategy and character.

She ran a great race, and was controlling the vast majority of the race.

I watched diving live at 2am all week. It was worth it. What a historic series of events. The two Chinese competitors were phenomenal the entire week.
