Usain Bolt. 9.69s and he stopped using his arms with 20+m to go! :shocked:

Surprised that NBC is showing basketball instead. Glad I watch CBC.

But then how could he go even faster in the future?
Gotta give himself some room to improve.

He has a cool name. Watched his race last night. He slowed down after the 50m and looked like he was going slow motion yet he finished like 9.9.

The all the guys who came after him lost by like, .1 seconds, .2 seconds, maybe less than those. It must be weird to think "I got first, I'm the greatest!", when you're only a fraction better than your rivals.

People in the US could care less for track and field. We care even less about that swimmer guy that got a bunch of gold medals. When you can do 8 different competition,s what is the great accomplishment? Each player on mens basketball can only get one gold. Should they introduce the game of h-o-r-s-e to create an even playing field?

While you're watching Canadians lose, we're watching Americans win. Glad I watch NBC. I :heart: Kerri Walsh.

Hey, I think we finally got some medals though :D

Phelps alone will beat Canada's medal count.

but that's the nature of this event. 0.1 seconds could be a bad start off the blocks, or one faulty stride. get a clue.
