Well, he is talented but I'm sorry he had to change his last name.

I'm confused. The pole vault hasn't taken place yet (it's scheduled to begin on Wednesday).

Ah, I see what happened. It's not the POLE vault, just the vault (the gymnastics kind).

The silver women's medalist has an interesting story.
Her name is Oksana Chusovitina and she used to compete for Russia.
She has a son who got leukemia and somebody from the German team offered to help her get medical care for her son. After a few years, she was able to get German citizenship and she started competing for Germany.
She's 33 years old!

The gold went to a Pole. Etaoin's one of those clever types.
