Don't know if any of you watched, but the men's and women's 100 meters were about as good as the Olympics can get, IMO.
Those are some amazingly fast people.
Bolt pulled away from the pack at 50 meters and again showed he's the Fastest Man on the Planet. He goes for gold in the 200 on Thursday. I don't think he can be beaten.
P.S. Anyone see the Dominican runner who won the 400m on the podium last night for his medal ceremony? Bawling like a baby (thinking of his grandmother, apparently). So emotional. Great TV and what the Olympics are really all about.
I like Bolt. I saw him doing an interview and when the reporter kept on going when they started playing the National Anthem for our athletes on the podium, he cut her off in mid-sentence and turned around to show his respect for the medal winners.
She didn't have any choice but to do the same, but it looked like it pissed her off.
