Notable events and winners from Day 3 (July 30th) of the London 2012 Olympic Games:
- Kim Un-Guk of North Korea won gold in men's weightlifting, setting a world record when he successfully lifted a total of 327kg (719.4 lb)! At the medal ceremony, he saluted the crowd (see above picture).
- The United States picked up two gold medals in swimming events, with Missy Franklin winning in women's 100m backstroke and Matt Grevers winning that same event in the men's. The US also won two silvers in swimming, and bronze medals in diving and judo.
- This day also marked the first time in my life I watched Olympic handball or dressage, and...all I can say is it might be the last. Those events hold no particular interest to me.
