U.S. men take 2 out of 3 in swimming event, then wonder at Beijing's audio work


It was an exiting event today as the almost legendary Michael Phelps took gold in the legend-worthy Water Cube in Beijing during a men's 400 m event. Hungarian Laszlo Cseh took silver, while fellow American Ryan Lochte earned the bronze.

Meanwhile, during the medal ceremony, while the U.S. National Anthem was being blasted through the Water Cube, myself standing in the kitchen with my hand over my heart, the anthem abruptly stopped. Phelps and even President Bush had a nice laugh but it's certainly a surprise error after a brilliant opening ceremony.
