Whoop Whoop Team GB

Third GOLD medal in a row for the mens four in rowing

Rebecca Adlington wins her second swimming GOLD and breaks the world record.

And we are fairly good at the cycling stuff too.

p.s. Congrats to the Phelps, he is a swimming monster.

Some people might have a problem with Bolt showboating...but if I was the fastest man on the planet by daylight and I didn't even have to try 100%...I'd be showboating far more than he did.

Yeah, that was awesome. I have no problem with the showboating, other than him costing himself an even better WR.

I am always amazed when one person absolutely dominated their sport... when everything clicks into place just right - genetics, training, etc, etc.

Tiger Woods. Michael Phelps. "Lightning" (best nickname ever) Bolt.

I've said for years that it surprises me how no NFL kicker has ever come along who can make 70+ yarders consistently. I mean, yes, the human body obviously has limits and when you reach the top of pro status in any sport, the playing field is USUALLY mostly level... but as this Olympics has shown, there are these exceptional freaks.

So where is they guy who puts opening kick offs though the uprights every time? He'll show up one of these days.

Dizzy Dean once said, "It ain't braggin' if you can do it." Same goes for Bolt. He can break the WR while easing up through the last 10 meters, he can showboat all he wants.

Interesting physical contrast though between Bolt and Phelps. Phelps has a weird body type that just happens to be perfect for swimming. Bolt has a body type that's all wrong for sprinting.
