Sushil Kumar (not to be confused with the boxers Vijender Kumar and Jitender Kumar who will be up later today or the boxer Akhil Kumar who is out) just won a bronze in wrestling. India's medal count is now at 2.

This is the first Olympics since 1952 that India has won more than one medal.

A third Indian boxer (also a Kumar?) has made the quarterfinals. All three each need one more win to at least get a bronze.

Quoted: Vijender Kumar became the third Indian boxer after Akhil Kumar and Jitender Kumar to enter the quartefinals at Beijing Olympics. Vijender beat Thai boxer Chompuphung in the 75kg Middleweight category.

Two Indian boxers (who happen to be cousins) have each made the quarterfinals. That means they are each one win away from a medal.

Quoted: India's medal hopes in Beijing Olympics got another boost, with ace boxer Jitender Kumar reaching the quarterfinals of 51kg Flyweight category. After his cousin Akhil Kumar reached the quarterfinals by beating the World Champion, Jitender emulated his feat by beating Uzbek boxer Tulashboy Doniyorov 13-6 in an ill-tempered bout. "I dedicate this win to Akhil. He has been everything for me and I want to win a medal for him", said Jitender after winning the bout.

Not looking too good, but it is still early.

Quoted: A slight drizzle, which grew in intensity, forced a stoppage in play after just 16 minutes during which Federer and Wawrinka broke the Indians once to run up a 4-1 lead.

I love Federer, but I am happy to see Blake, the American, inch closer to a tennis medal. Now, I hope that Paes-Bhupathi defeat Federer in doubles!

Quoted: Roger Federer's dream of an Olympic medal in singles will have to wait until 2012 -- he does still does have doubles this year -- because James Blake has knocked him out and advanced to the semifinals.

They were once the best doubles team in the world, reaching all four grand slam finals in 1999. But, they're getting old now. Hope they can pull out a medal. So far so good, but their next match will be far more difficult (Federer-Wawrinka or Youzhny-somebody).

Quoted: Their impeccable on-court camaraderie betrayed no signs of a stormy past as Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi today inched closer to their first joint Olympic medal by reaching the quarter-finals of the men's doubles event here.

Raj Bhavsar's parents are from India.

Quoted: The last men standing included Kevin Tan, whose family is originally from China, and Raj Bhavsar, whose parents emigrated from the Gujarat region of India in the ’60s, and Sasha Artemev, who was born in Russia. And by some bizarre coincidence, these were the three best Americans on the pommel horse, the last of the six disciplines on Tuesday. Only in America.

I'll be happy with one medal.

Quoted: "We should get medals and we definitely will get medals," said Sethi at the flag-raising ceremony in the Olympic Village. "We have great hopes in shooting."

This is one of a number of (oddly) intelligent moves the Mariners have made in the past week.

Quoted: The Jose Vidro era ended today when the Mariners designated him for assingment. I just drove by him in the Safeco Field parking lot. I was headed in, he was leaving. The Mariners have 10 days to release, trade or demote Vidro to the minors -- a move he could refuse. Anyhow, he's gone
