Still trying to keep up with all of the Beijing Olympic coverage? We’ve got the schedule for Day 5, which starts includes more swimming, Women’s Water Polo, Softball, Baseball and Men’s Diving. I’m not sure anything will be able to live up to the greatness that was the mens 4x100m free relay but I’m sure there are still plenty of worth watching Olympics moments to catch!
