Calling London, Going For Gold! (NBC)

Welcome to Day 13 0f On My DVR’s coverage of the XXX Olympiad!

We will endeavor to bring you all of the news you care about on as real time a basis as life allows (so check back often each day!) including details on where you can catch the best events and the medal count because everyone cares about who brings home the gold!

UPDATED FOR RESULTS …

Thursday, August 9, 2012 An interesting for team USA with Claressa Shields taking the first ever gold medal in Women’s Boxing Middleweight and Marlen Esparza taking the bronze in the Flyweight. Over on triple jump, Americans Christian Taylor and Will Claye took gold and silver but the real impressive feat of the day was that the Jamaicans swept the entire Men’s 200m with Usain Bolt taking gold, Yohan Blake, silver, and Warren Weir, bronze. In Women’s Swimming Open Water, American Haley Anderson pulled a silver medal but has a Warning next to her name in the results; I’ll try to figure out what that means for the final update. In basketball, Women’s USA beat AUS 86-73. The Soccer final is still going on as are some track & field events; all to be updated later tonight! In the medal count, at midday, USA has opened up an 11 medal lead and is now ahead of China in total gold by 2.

Thursday, August 9, 2012 Lucky Day 13. Lets see what luck it brings Team USA. Five medals are up in Track & Field along with a host of Men’s Decathlon events throughout the day. We also have the 3 lightweight classes of Women’s Boxing medal events and more Tae Kwon Do and Canoe/Kayak. Back in the gym, Rhythm Gymnastics begins today so, that’ll be fun and we’ll be rooting for lone American, Julie Zetlin. In Sailing, the Men’s 470 medal race is today and Team USA actually has a team in contention, a rarity in sailing these days. Over on the soccer pitch, USA’s women go for gold against Team Japan. In Swimming, Women’s Open Water, American Haley Anderson tries to bring it home. Certain sports are not being televised; in such a case, we have directed you to NBC’s live web streaming service.
