Chicago Olympians: Day 3

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Aug 11, 2008 3:05PM

2008_08_11_chioly.jpgWas anyone else pumped when, during the Men's Basketball game against China yesterday (Dwyane Wade = 19 pts, 2 stl, 2 ast), NBC decided to forgo their usual Olympic-themed background music and instead brought back their old John Tesh-penned "NBA on NBC" theme music? It was worth getting up early for that alone. That wasn't the only excitement from our day of Olympic-watching: later Sunday night (Monday morning, Beijing time) we saw one of our Chicago-related athletes take home a medal.

Results from another day of competition after the jump.
