And the first medal for Switzerland!

Beijing, Day 18
First day, first medal for Switzerland!
In the men's road cycling course Fabian Cancellara, the only Swiss participant, got a well deserved bronze medal after a rocket-like come back on the last 2 kilometers. That's our boy!

Fabian Cancellara, the Swiss rocket

This means that the party is on at the HoS tonight (I hope Hakon remembers how to make all these little almond-paste figures for the official cake...), a lot of excitement, press, fans, cowbells,...and we will watch out here for the Swiss TV sending life from the HoS! Maybe Manuel manages to walk through the background with a pile of dirty plates? In the meantime...get the Cool & Clean drinks ready! CK
