Men's 10K swim
Wow - just watched the men's 10k swim "marathon" live on streaming video, and it was incredible. The top 3 men were within 2 seconds of each other in this very long race, and the winner, Maarten van der Weijdian of the Netherlands, has an incredible story - he was dying of leukemia (ALL) and survived a bone marrow transplant and came back to be Olympic champion.

You know that the women were actually closer together! I know that sounds impossible.
But the British have taken 2-3 in the women's division and 2 in the men's.
