Thursday's semifinal matchup against Lithuania was a hard-nosed and chippy affair, and it even resulted in a bit of a yelling skirmish during the post-game handshake line.

Gay ended up having to get dental work done until 2 a.m. the morning after the game before he could rejoin the team on the way to Madrid. Fortunately he's still able to go for Sunday's final match and hopefully will have a Gold Medal to lift his spirits, although he probably won't be biting down on it to make sure it's real any time soon.
