Hello, everybody. Week 1 of the Games of the XXX Olympiad in London is coming to an end, and has the United States been owning the podium or what?

Most of the bounty belonged to Michael Phelps, as he wraps up his stellar career has cemented his place as the most decorated Olympian of all time with 22 overall medals; 19 of them gold. Four of those 19 came over the course of the week: The 4x200m freestyle relay, the 200m individual medley; his last individual medal, the 100m butterfly on Friday; and to cap it all off: the 4x100m medley relay on Saturday. 

As a matter of fact, the men's swimming in these games should be called "The Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte Show", as the two have been a duel starting with Lochte claiming gold in the 400m individual medley on Saturday (Phelps didn't medal, finishing fourth); Michael would outswim him a few days later with the 100m butterfly.

The women have also dominated in the water, with Alison Schmitt, Missy Franklin, Rebecca Soni, Dana Vollmer, and Katie Ledecky claiming golds themselves.

In gymnastics, call it the Fab Five as the women raked their first team gold since the Magnificent Seven in 1996; that would be followed by Gabby Douglas' gold in the all-around. At 16, she was also the youngest gold medalist in these games...well, for at least one day, when 15-year old Ledecky took that honor.

And on Saturday, it was advantage: Serena Williams as she beat Maria Sharapova for gold in women's tennis. The other major U.S. gold medalist this week was Kayla Harrison in women's judo (78kg), a first for us.

Great Britain is also doing impressive medals-wise, with their first golds in men's cycling time trials and rowing on Wednesday; the former thanks to this year's Tour de France champion Bradley Wiggins. 

The United States have not only taken the most golds so far with 26, but also the one-medal advantage overall over China (54-53) who has 25 golds; the host country is not far behind with 29 (14 golds) followed by Russia's 28. And Canada finally got their first gold in women's trampoline, but they have a lot of ground to make up with the nine others they already got.

The track and field events are already underway, and that's where Lolo Jones and Usain Bolt will shine. Other events to take center stage in week 2 of the Olympics: Wrestling, basketball, and indoor and beach volleyball.

Now...if infidelity was an Olympic sport, Kristen Stewart would easily get that gold. It's been a week since scandalous photos of Stewart and her "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders allegedly getting more than cozy shocked Twihards around the world, and here's the latest:

Stewart and Robert Pattinson have both went into exile, with Kristen at her parents' house while Pattinson retreated to his "Water for Elephants" co-star Reese Witherspoon's home just up the highway in Ojai. The two were scheduled to present together at next month's MTV Video Music Awards, but that appears to be up in the air...at least for now.

In the risk of editorializing, I think that Kristen Stewart has made a mistake which may have not only cost her her relationship, but her career as well. But I wouldn't be surprised if her next guy could be...well, Ryan Lochte or Michael Phelps! So long and stay strong.
