BEIJING (NEWS CENTER) -- With six days of competition left, Mainers have already won four Olympic medals in Beijing.

Elle Logan and Anna Goodale will be wearing gold when they come home. They are members of the women's 8 rowing team, which won its event over the weekend.

Portland native Wyatt Allen has a bronze to add to his collection, after the men's 8 finished third. Allen was also a member of the gold-medal winning men's 8 team in Athens in 2004.

And swimmer Ian Crocker earned a gold medal in the men's 4 X 100 medley relay. Crocker swam the butterfly leg of the race in the preliminatires. Even though Michael Phelps swam that leg in the finals, Crocker still wins a medal for his part in the team's effort.
