cant quite believe what Usain Bolt did today... he cantered the last 10 metres and decimated the field AND the WR record. This is someone who is doing something on a different level to anyone before and I suspect anyone for quite some time after.
As Michael Johnson said "Michael Phelps, Michael who?"

And a slight thread jack but since there is no propper Olympic thread here... awesome day for Team GB - great wins in the cycling, an olympic field and a WR destroyed by Dame Addlington... and what a great win for the coxless fours... watched it before going to work this morning, and was feeling negative as the pairs had only got a bronze and Ben Ainslie hadnt got a chance to go for his 3rd gold... at 1000 metres they looked like they were going backwards... but a great great comeback - dont know where the last 250 metres possibly could have came from cos they were dead, but it was incredible, the commentator losing his voice and the other guy just screaming over and over "The British are coming, the British are coming"... the Aussies had a great day in the rowing but these boys were defending world champions, and a true champion doesnt give up the title without one hell of a fight!

Dont know why people are down about these Olympics at all. We've had the wonderful performances of Phelps, the greatest swim relay race of all time, and now a man travelling faster than any human being has ever travelled under their own power in all known history... and SHOWBOATING HOME THE LAST 10 METRES!
