Seems to me the US should get partial credit for training half of the world's athletes. ;)

One more race then sleep. Fingers crossed.

He did it.

That Bolt dude from Jamaica is freakin' FAST!!! I think he could have run the 100M even faster

That 100m was unreal.

BTW, that marathon winner is 39!

Another board spoiled me on the Phelps win. Stupid internet. Anyway, I love the 41 yo gal who got her silver!! Go Dara!

phelps who?

That doesn't surprise me much, elite marathoning is an (relatively) old person's sport. The winner isn't always old but it isn't uncommon either (I think the mens 1984 winner was 38 or something like that).

All three of the women's medal winners are 30+. Yay old people sports.

Phelps - wow. That was awesome to watch. Good for him.
Torres - amazing.
Bolt - fast, great athlete... too cocky.
:)

I really dislike the sprinters. Their egos are way too huge. That guy was showboating before he even finished. I wish he had tripped and lost.

Hooray for the US women's foil team who won a silver medal yesterday! First ever US medal for team fencing. They look so excited in the photos and a local woman was on the team. Great coverage in this morning's paper.
