Gold

Sweden got its first gold medalist in the current Olympic Games today. It was Sara Sjöström, who won the 100 metres free style swimming. 

If dogs were to compete, we would dog paddle. I know how to, I have done it. I do not think any dog would be as fast as the human competitors in free style swimming, though. Many dogs would outperform the humans in the athletics running competitions, though. The Olympic Games are only for human competitors, however. I think this is just as well. Dogs have our own competitions which are good enough for us.
