Whas Happened In Sports Last Night

• Women’s Marathon Swimming: Russia’s Larisa Ilchenko took the first gold medal in marathon swimming, an event that makes its poor competitors swim 10 kilometers, or 6.2 miles in American. She’s cute, so we’re happy she didn’t get struck down by the dreaded Triathalte swimmer’s disease during her hour, 59 minute, 27.7 second swim. My God, we don’t know if we can even walk that long.

• MLB: Not even an oncoming hurricane can phase the Tampa Bay Rays. They improved to 5-0 against the league-best Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, which gives the Angels some ammunition to retain that top spot in the AL for home field advantage in the playoffs. Tampa Bay 4, LA of Anaheim 2. [Yahoo]
• Men’s Boxing: Dzhakhon Kurbanov of Tajikistan was bounced from the games after he bit his opponent, Kazakhstan’s Yerkebulan Shynaliyev, in the shoulder. Nice to see Mike Tyson’s legacy truly lives on in the boxing community. [SF Gate]
