Did anyone hear of the American 4X400m relay runner who broke his leg 200m into his run and ran the rest mainly on 1 leg?

He said the first thought that came into his head when he felt it brake was to continue so not to let his team down. He ran a 46.XX too, they also qualified 2nd with a Season Best.
 
Loved that segment on genes. 82 people have run sub 10seconds in the 100m, 81 were black.

A lot is said of the "Olympic Spirit", that is the best display of it I would say, incredible.

200m prediction - Bolt first followed by Blake then Weir, all Jamaican podium.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!
 
Win all the medals!


Excellent job by all three runners. Weir is only around 19, if I'm not mistaken. Great job by him.
 
Epic fail of a goal, nice pass by Sawa though..
 
Great Britain is getting their asses handed out to them.
That doesn't sound right.

Great Britain is being slapped around by the Netherlands.
That's better.

7-1.

If they win, Netherlands are in with a chance of finishing within a third of our total medals.
