Who do you think is most shining star in the ongoing Olympic events? Who is the black horse? In 2004 Athens Olympics, Chinese 110-meters hurdler Liu Xiang is thought to be the biggest “black horse”. He stole the show in track field. Who has sprung the biggest surprise so far? American swimmer Michael Phelps was in a good form. He has claimed three gold medals. Will he claim 8 gold medals?

GUEST2167 Liu Xiang will surely beat Cuban Roberts. 91,000 spectators will be behind him in Bird's Nest. Nobody will steal Liu Xiang's show in Beijing.

Leonardo,
The idiom is “dark horse” meaning no one saw him coming.
So Phelps was no dark horse but had a huge track record of success.

Men's 110 meters hurdle race is the most anticipated event.The competition will be immensely fierce. It's possible for anyone to win gold medal of the event. The defending Olympic gold medalist Liu Xiang and the world record-holder Robles are the most capable athletes. Don't neglect American hurdler Terrence Trammell who has won silver medals in both Sydney and Athens Olympics.He said to the media that he will beat Liu Xiang and Robles in Beijing Games. He boasts that he will disappoint 91,000 spectators in Bird's Nest.

American hurdler Terrence Trammell would be a dark house

Chinese men and women's gymnastics teams have stolen the show. Some girls have wrote on the internet that "if they want to get married, they will marry Chinese gymnasts." The gold medal means too much to Chinese women's gymnastics team because it is the first team gold medal they have ever won. Well done, Chinese men and women's gymnasts!

Thanks Dodger for your correction! It should be dark horse.

Yea, Phelps can't be taken as a dark horse. He has had a good record. In Beijing, he has stolen the show and grabbed the world's attention.

"Who has sprung the biggest surprise so far?"
China's Li Na. She is the most surprising " dark horse".
She defeated World' s No.1 Venus Williams of the Unied States during the women's singles quarterfinal of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games tennis event.

Four years ago, China's Li Ting and Sun Tiantian won the gold medal in women's double final of the Athens Olympics tennis event. They were the "darkest horse" in 2004 Games.

Chinese women table tennis team was "dark horse' team.

China's Li Na celebrates after defeating Venus Williams in the quarterfinal.
