    Youtube highlights mean nothing, I mean he might be able to run 10metres in 0.567 seconds but it doesn't give you the full picture

      Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell have some serious beef. Should be good to see them against each other

            He went to my university (Michigan....well after I left) and I have been amazed by him this entire event, but that was a finish to end all finishes... That and the 4x100 Relay where we beat the French... its just been great drama...

            .01 second win for Gold #7. What an amazing Olympics he's had... Go Blue!

              Kirsty Coventry wins Gold in the 200m Backstroke to add to her 3 silvers

              I've been told the rumour that she now has more Gold and Silver than the Bank of Zimbabwe is not true

                Dara Torres



                Dara Torres top qualifier for 50 free finals
                USOC via AP August 16, 2008

                BEIJING (AP) Dara Torres, the 41-year-old mom swimming in her American-record fifth Olympics, will have the top starting position for the finals of the 50-meter freestyle after posting the fastest time in Saturday's semifinal heats.

                Torres' time of 24.27 was the sixth-fastest this year, and 0.15 better than anyone else. World record-holder Lisbeth Trickett of Australia also advanced to the finals, as did American Kara Lynn Joyce.

                "I looked and I saw that I was first," said Torres, who won bronze in the 50 in Sydney eight years ago. "That's a little more pressure, and I'm old enough to be able to handle it."

                Torres already has a silver medal in Beijing, having anchored the U.S. women in the 400 free relay. But an individual medal would be nice, too, considering she'd retired after giving birth to her first child in 2006, thinking she was done competing.

                At the start of this semifinal, Torres was playing mom - concerned about helping Sweden's Therese Alshammar fix her torn swimsuit.

                "I tried to help her with it, tried to do it up, and it ripped again," said Torres. "I was saying, 'Her suit's ripped' and waving my arms around.'"

                        No they don't they're actually good friends.

                        Anyway, Bolt looks unstoppable. He was world junior champ in the 200m at 15 so this his performances shouldn't really be a surprise.

                            He blitzed the field again and also jogged to the finish line AGAIN
                            "Through me the way into the suffering city,
                            Through me the way to the eternal pain,
                            Through me the way that runs among the lost.
                            Justice urged on my high artificer;
                            My maker was divine authority,
                            The highest wisdom, and the primal love.
                            Before me nothing but eternal things were made,
                            And I endure eternally.
                            Abandon every hope, ye who enter here."


                            And like that… he's gone

                              Another astonishing run. Even more so in fact. 9.85 and it was so ****ing easy.
