Blind South Korean Archer Im Dong hyun Sets World Record At London Olympics

What to see today? The American men’s gymnastics team aims for the first team gold in 28 years and Lochte is back in the pool after a disappointing swim Sunday night. Here’s what we’re watching on Day 3.. Men’s Gymnastics Team Final — Danell Leyva, John Orozco, and Sam Mikulak continue swinging toward gold in the men’s Team Final Monday night. USA’s recent consistency, along with some missteps from China and Japan, their toughest competitors, put them in a great place to win the country’s first team gold since the 1984 Los Angeles Games. Women’s Indoor Volleyball — The US women, led by Destinee Hooker, face off against Brazil in a rematch of the 2008 gold medal game. This one doesn’t have quite as much on the line, but they’re still the best two teams on the planet and likely to go at it again in the medal rounds. This will be a great preview and an important matchup for seedings.

Kristin Armstrong of the United States won her second straight gold medal in the Olympic cycling time trial Wednesday beating Judith Arndt of Germany by more than 15 seconds. Armstrong covered the 18 mile course south of London in 37 minutes 34.82 seconds. Arndt finished in 37:50.29 for the silver, while Olga Zabelinskaya of Russia posted a time of 37:57.35 to add a bronze to the one she captured in Sunday’s road race. The 38-year-old Armstrong briefly retired after her triumph at the 2008 Beijing Olympics to start a family, but she hopped back on her bike after delivering a son, Lucas, in 2010. On Wednesday, she looked as if she’d never been away. Armstrong, a two-time world champion, had already gained a second on the field by the first time check, and by the time she reached the second checkpoint, at the 12½-mile mark, the lead had swelled to nearly five seconds. Armstrong knew she was headed for another gold when she started to pick off riders in the run-up to the finish, including Dutch champion Marianne Vos, who won gold in the road race. The famously stoic Armstrong let a smile slip as she crossed the finish line, slowing to a stop and then slumping over her bike. She rested just enough to catch her breath before heading to the victory stand and her second consecutive Olympic gold.
