IT'S USAIN BOLT! 9.69 SECONDS! NEW WORLD RECORD!

amazing 100m race from Bolt, i thought he would be under 9.7 but never expected it to be so easy. position 2 was 9.89 and position 8 was 10.03, difference is still less than that between 1st and 2nd. he totally owned, and at the last part he looked left, looked right, and pumped his fist to his chest and got the crowd going as he just FLEW HOME. most sensational race i have ever seen. and that, after Jamaica had never won a 100m race in men's or women's events in the Olympics, but Bolt just rewrote history. hope he wins the 200m! 100m and 200m sprint double, don't think anyone has ever won it, right?

as for Phelps, well no stopping him. 7th gold, too bad no WR this time

100m butterfly - 50.58 OR

i watched until 50m, he was 7th in the 50m mark, and i got off the bus >_> i thought he was lost for sure, but amazingly he got back to win by 0.01 seconds. naturally disputed, but officials say, well, it's official. hard to believe, he's holy shit. well, go go number 8!

amazing!
