Olympic Gold

I cheered as Uganda's Stephen Kiprotich crossed the line to win Olympic gold in the marathon.  Today pictures of his triumph are splashed all over the front pages of the Ugandan newspapers.

You may not realize what a big deal this is to Ugandans - it's the only medal the country has won in the 2012 London games, and only the third Olympic medal ever, after John Akii-Bua's gold in the 400m hurdles in 1972 and Davis Kamonga's 400m bronze in 1996.
