Notable events and winners from Day 2 (July 29th) of the London 2012 Olympic Games:
- Kim Rhode of the US, pictured above, won a gold medal in skeet shooting, scoring a 99/100 in the final round. I have to wonder if she was disappointed with that score being not-quite-perfect.
- Dana Vollmer won the United States' first gold medal of the 2012 Olympic Games in swimming, setting a world record in the women's 100m butterfly final. The US also picked up two additional silver medals in other swimming events.
- Kelci Bryant and Abigail Johnston of the US won a silver medal in women's synchronized diving, the first medal for the US in that event since the 2000 games. The gold was won by He Zi and Wu Minxia of China. China won 7 of 8 gold medals in diving events in the Beijing games and successfully began their quest to win 8 of 8 in London.
