Several countries are struggling at the Beijing Olympics. Russia, Romania, Bulgaria, Canada and Argentina are among the countries which seem to have borught in fewer medals than expected so far.Similarly, Mexico has not had many chances to visit the medal stand, but the platform diving pair of Paolo Espinosa and Ortiz Tetiana won the bronze in the women's sync 10-meter platform.
Another athlete who won the only medal for her country today was marathon runner Catherine Ndereba of Kenya who got the silver for her country.
And, Perez Jefferson of Ecuador won a bronze medal in the men's 20-km walk. It is the only medal for that South American nation so far.
We found this cool image of Jefferson.........

It's so refreshing to see that someone else is interested in the "other" winners of the games. I'm tired of seeing only one country represented here. Great blog. :0) N.
Thanks so much! There are people who over the years have visited my blog just to leave negative comments. It's nice to see the total opposite of that. I really appreciate it.
