Liberian track star Jangy Addy has emerged as one of the top athletes in contention for Decathlon Gold!  He came in number one in the Men's100M in Heat 2 after posting a time of 10.89.  In the Shot Put he posted a mark of 49' 1 3/8", good enough for first in Group B.  In the Long Jump portion, he didn't fair as well, finishing twelfth with a high mark of 22' 7 3/4" in Group B.  The High Jump & 400M are the events left on his plate for the day.  Let's cheer Jangy on as he's the last hope for my home country's chances at winning a gold medal in this year's Olympics. Phobay Kutu-Akoi (Women's 100M), Raasin McIntosh (Women's 400M Hurdles), and Liva Saryee (Men's Judo) failed to medal at this year's Olympics but kudos to them for representing Liberia!  The Olympics couldn't go by without me giving my fellow countrymen some love....duh! #AddyForGold!!  Click on this link and go to the 6:00 mark in the video before the 2nd Heat in order to see Jangy represent LIB.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L2eC2Sofhk&feature=player_embedded
