STAR OF THE DAY

MICHAEL PHELPS

The American swimming star tied Mark Spitz's 1972 record with his seventh gold medal of the Games, winning the 100-meter butterfly by a hundredth of a second over Serbia's Milorad Cavic with a time of 50.58 seconds.

NO LOVE FOR RUSSIA

The International Olympic Committee should punish Russia by moving the 2014 Winter Olympics out of Sochi, Russia, the co-chairs of the congressional House Georgia Caucus said.

Reps. Allyson Schwartz, D-Pa., and Bill Shuster, R-Pa., said in a joint statement they plan to file a resolution declaring that Russia's movement of troops into Georgia on the eve of the Beijing Olympics makes it an unacceptable country to host the Games.

RUNNER TESTS POSITIVE

Bulgarian middle-distance runner Daniela Yordanova has tested positive for testosterone and will not compete at the Beijing Olympics.

Team spokesman Todor Shabanski said the 1,500-meter runner was on the verge of flying to Beijing but stayed behind after the result became known.
