Bolt is a freaking beast. He is the first man ever to win the (100m and 200m) double in back to back Olympic Games He is the first man to win the (200m) race in back to back Olympic Games Oh and just for good measure he is the only man to have won the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay, doing so in Beijing. Jamaica is favored to take Gold in the 4x100. So he will likely do it in back to back games of accomplishing those feats. We are likely witnessing the greatest sprinter in history.

Despite having freakish bad luck with 400m sprinters. And injured and suspended 100m sprinters. I think this is the best track and field team. We have had in a long time at the olympics.
Yeah, the Bahamian side's performance was incredible. And now I'm guilty of watching women's speed-walking and handball while lifting, lol. You've gotta love women's athletics.
u know i got this feeling that i just want to be surrounded by beautiful athletic women right now and i think you do too time to hit up the strip clubs in florida :smt029 forget making it rain dollar bills tho....money tight so the only thing raining are those nickels and dimes
Nah, I've got an idea: Saturday morning jog on the beach and then hang out with one of the local singles athletic clubs: cycling, kayaking, swimming, kickboxing, etc before hitting a hardbodies bar with outdoor seating like the Clevelander. You'll get all the fit women you can handle.
That's like 3X her average countryman's weight. Was she really tall? Or like a feminine Pocket Hercules?
