Would be kinda hard to get better than 4th place considering the size of the countries above them. USA, China and ?.
19 August, 2008 at 10:40 pm #362273Ah right, actually in 3rd place at the moment. Can forget about getting close to the Yanks or the Chinks due to the size of those countries and the funding they have in place.
19 August, 2008 at 10:42 pm #362274But it isnt impossible, we have 4 years to build on this success.
20 August, 2008 at 12:35 pm #362275Could we be in for a new WR for the mens’ 200 metres??
That usain fella is one hell of a sprinter. :shock:
20 August, 2008 at 1:33 pm #362276All eyes are gonna be on him, I think he will win comfortably, but whether he will withstand the added pressure of breaking the record is another thing.
Im looking forward to that one though.
20 August, 2008 at 1:56 pm #362277He won’t break Michael Johnson’s world record of 19.32 but will win and run exceedingly fast in doing so. Maybe around 19.5…..
This guy is the star of the Games; everything about him is outrageous, his size and turnover for such a tall man, the way he play-acts before racing Olympic finals……..even now he’s mucking about on the warm-up track pretending to be injured for the cameras and laughing his head off.
No disrespect to Phelps, but they do tend to hand out medals in swimming like confetti.
And later this week we have the men and women’s relays too, where all the impressive Jamaicans will shine. There are some questions about the regularity of drug-testing when OUT OF COMPETITION and the degree of commitment by the Jamaican authorities to WADA initiatives. I really hope there isn’t a shadow hanging over any of this, but it’s always in the back of peoples minds given the previous Ben Johnson and Marion Jones scandals.
Innocent until proven guilty of course……………..
20 August, 2008 at 2:02 pm #362278Remember Ed Moses lying down with his head on the lane marker just before a race
40%of the athletes at these olympics will be drug tested20 August, 2008 at 2:08 pm #362279and if he persists in throwing dance-hall shapes I’ll have to put him on me reggae thread
20 August, 2008 at 2:24 pm #362280outrageous, and into a wind.
Insane Bolt of lightning…….
