I have studied the Serbian shooters for countless hours and it paid off. Now we will play Hungary on Sunday for the gold medal.

We have had some incredible games and our biggest ones are yet to come. We just defeated Germany 8 to 7. It was an intense game that went back and forth and was close up to the closing seconds.

I know, it sounds great! We beat the Australians tonight to advance to the gold medal match against the Netherlands.

I will write and keep everyone updated as much as possible, thanks for all of the support.

Playing for a medal is an awesome feeling, and we're one step closer to bringing it home! We have a few days off (of competition, that is -- we'll still train hard!) to get ready for our next opponent and iron out any kinks.

Now we play Croatia. Croatia is considered to be the best team in the world right now, but in all honesty I think we match up very well with them.

One thing that has disappointed me however, is some of the coverage. This in one thing I can't stand about our culture: we don't see the fact that an Olympic medal is a wonderful thing, regardless of the color.

Walking into the stadium is one of the most amazing things you could ever do. Waving at the American flags, seeing the President in the stands, and watching my fellow athletes flip out was unbelievable.

We have been "stalking" high profile athletes, and have been very successful. Thus far, we have met Rafael Nadal, Dirk Nowitzki, and Andre Kirilenko.  I guess I don't feel so bad for these guys...
