Condition of Injured Ball: Flat!
The Beijing Organizing Committee finally released the condition of the injured ball involved in the opening round volleyball match between the USA and Venezuela.

The nature of the injury was still not revealed at the press conference, but the committee said that with a little fresh air, the ball should be as good as new.
Shooters Shoot Traps in Trap Shoot
Women will shoot their traps today in one qualifying round and one final round. Currently, Slovakia holds the lead and there is one American currently in fourth place. Yesterday, the men shot their traps with Czech Republic claiming gold and the American shooters placing 22nd and 23rd. Trap shooting involves shooting clay pigeons and is considered the most difficult of all the trap competitions because the target is further and the speed the pigeon is thrown is greater. Animal rights activists oppose the sport claiming that shooting innocent pigeons is cruel and inhumane.
Bill Gates Flips for the Birdie
Bill Gates of Microsoft fame was seen watching the badminton competition from the comfort of VIP seats. "I flipped when I saw it," Gates said. "It was great! I am very impressed. I am definitely a badminton fan."
