I will appreciate your immediate attention to this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Mathew Liverpool

After a week of sunshine, rain and the forecast of hail on the second day affected the start of tennis on the lawn courts at Wimbledon and made for slippery conditions in the woman's cycling road race.

It didn't seem to brother the swimmers. Lochte had the second-fastest time in qualifying for the 200-meter freestyle, the morning after his stunning win a 400-meter individual medley final.

"I didn't get to bed until like 2 a.m. So I'm a little tired, but it was a prelims swim, so I'm not too worried about it," said Lochte, who went out with family and friends to celebrate his victory. Phelps won an unprecedented eight golds at the Beijing Olimpics, but now can't win any more than six in London.

China's Sun is on track for a second gold medal after leading qualifiers in the 200 freestyle in 1 minute 46,24 seconds the morning after his victory in the 400 freestyle. While the weather was bad, there were other blights: a female gymnast from Uzbeikistan was provisionally suspended after failing a doping test, the second case of the games. The IOC says Luiza Galiulina tested positive for the diuretic furosemide on Wednesday.
