Incidentally, Ms. Jaroenrattanatarakoon, who changed her name from Chanpim Kantatian last year after a fortune teller told her it would bring her luck, won a gold medal yesterday in the 53-kilogram class women's weight lifting competition -- a contest described by Reuters as a "fast and tense competition between several close rivals," that "alternately left the audience holding its breath in suspense and cheering with relief."

How 'bout that Phelps boy?
