| Kelci Bryant (L), Minnesota's first London medalist |
It's currently about 4 am
in London, which means that Day 5
of the XXX Summer Olympiad (brought to you by IBM, Chevrolet, and the fine
folks at Rick's Cabaret) has wrapped up. The Games are now about 29.4 percent
complete, which seems like a natural (?) point at which to meet and greet the
Olympians with ties to Minnesota;
call this your super-abridged cheering guide if you want. I wanted to get this
out about a week ago, and then Silky came along with that great Wolves
off-season recap and the ol' lazy summer dog days mentality kicked in. And here
we are, with you, our loyal readers, ready to peruse a list of "people to
watch," and you can't even watch some of them anymore, as their events
have already handed out all their medals.
It's this kind of dogged determination to get the story out
with unparalleled timeliness that makes us the 13th or 14th best sports blog in
Minnesota.
Anyway, root for these folks.
