    This post makes me squirm.

    I agree with this - the luck of pulling a ball out of a bag may have been the difference between gold and bronze - or maybe even not medaling at all. It worked out in Jake's favor - congrats to him!

    Congrats Jake!

    So were he and Jordan Burroughs the only Americans to win gold in London?

    Congrats Jake. Sad NBC couldn't bother to show your medal ceremony but I finally found it online. They were too busy showing the upteenth million fluff spot by Mary Carillo and canned Beatles music to bother I guess. Also seemed like they were doing a recruiting piece for Sanderson during the match.
