Is Usain Bolt still the fastest man on the planet? 

100 meter qualifying on now

[PhatMack19]

Bolt & Blake coast through their 1st heats.  Neither looked to expend much effort.

Awesome story!  Worth reading to your kids about never giving up.

Amazing!....Now there is a great role model....They need to put him in some Gatorade commercials or something! Someone that overcomes a handicap like that,and compete in the Olympics,should get more attention from the sports world!

I would like to see Bolt actually finish a race to see what time he could really get.  He usually gets a big lead then coast to the finish.

My daughter saw him and told me that she wanted to run in the Olympics.  She is 8 and loves to run.  I just pray she keeps that passion for running.

We watched and it was awesome.  Even better is that the Americans took the Gold and Silver.

US women 4X100 relay team won gold today smashing the world record. Previous WR was set in 1985 with a time of 41.35. US ran a blazing 40.8 today! WOW!!!!!
