New World Record
A Jamaican just broke Donovan Bailey's speed record in the Olympics by 1/10th of a second.

Re: New World Record
He's brilliant, that guy.
And really, such an improvement on the World Record is incredible.
He just leapt away from them all..

Indeed
Though I expected Obikwelu, Justin Gatlin, and some others to be there

Re: New World Record
nah..
It was supposed to be Usain Bolt (Jam), Asafa Powell (Jam) and Tyson Gay (USA) battling it out in the final for 1st but Tyson Gay did terrible in the semi finals and Asafa Powell was having difficulties with his nerves.
A little extra info:
Asafa Powell equalled the record and broke his own world record twice after that.
Usain Bolt broke that record and so did Tyson Gay.
Usain Bolt ran the WR in 9.69 secs but he slowed down before the finish, if he ran through all 100m flat out he would have run it in about 9.61 or 9.62 but he doesn't want to do that. In the Olympics you don't get money for a WR, he probably wants to get the record again in another Tournament where they pay tend to pay over 150 thousands or so dollars.
also
Gatlin was tested positive for drugs ages ago.

People are naturally selfish and greedy; governed more by bestial urges than common sense or ethics. Society is a terrible thing, too. The more supposedly civilized we become, the more immorality and decadence become the main staple of our daily diet.
Before Lost concluded, my main flippant excuse for not killing myself was that I wanted to know how it ended. I will get back to you with a new one when I find it.

Re: New World Record
Wait, no mention of Michael Phelps and the 8 gold medals in a single Olympics? I mean, sure he's an American, but still...

I saw him get his eighth before I saw Bolt run. And people were talking about Bolt, so I assumed they had seen Phelps already.

Re: New World Record
The 100meter final was 1 or 2 days before Phelps's 8th
I have to admit, he was gambling a bit, 3 relays, I mean... He has to rely on his team mates aswell as himself. 8 Gold medals this Olympics, 13 in total, the most ever achieved by any one person, ever.
Also He broke 7 world records in the 8 events he did.

Re: New World Record
Yeah. Jason Lezak is awesome with a capital everything. It was just great that he beat the trash talker who held the world record for the freestyle distance on the last leg.
