Kaitlyn Huff lit up last years world championships, I think she's certainly a favorite heading into 2008. Ryan Lochte has swum well since and should backup Michael Phelps well.

Sheik Ahmed Al Maktoum of the United Arab Emirates has won the first ever Olympic medal for the gulf nation in winning the double trap shooting event.\n\nMaktoum finished tied for 18th in the same event at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, and earlier in the Athens Games had finished 4th in the single trap shooting event.\n\nThe forty year-old Maktoum, is a member of Dubai's ruling family, and was educated in the United States, at Western States University in Phoenix, Arizona.\n\nNewspapers in Australia after the 2000 Sydney games reported that as the Sheik went through the airport in Sydney, he was asked for his flight number by Australian customs. His short answer was reportedly "No number, no airline, my plane." Customs then asked for the registration number of his plane which he didn't have. He then told customs officials that he had five planes, and he just phoned for one of them to come pick him. A 747 showed up to take him home.\n\nUnited Arab Emirates medal history in various games.
