It's rounds, semi's, finals. At the semi level, they take top 2 plus next 2 fastest, so only 8 make it thru to the finals.

Okay . Remember they use to have to run 4 times in the 100 but looks like now it is only 3 times. Maybe they are trying to cut down on the pretenders .

There was a preliminary round, but the big dogs got a bye into the first round. Same as 4 years ago as best as I can recall.

Will anyone challenge bolt?

Maybe a cheetah.

Scrapebook picture of Jahvid and Bolt on ESPN front page right now. Don't know how long it will be there.

"See kids. I did run against Bolt in the Olympics!"

I don't even recognize Best in this picture:



But he's recognizable here:

I took a screenshot of the finish line, Bolt (Lane 6) and Best (Lane 8). Best can now say he raced against Bolt in the f*cking Olympics! :cheer

And that Bolt barely beat him!

If the 53 runners who finished ahead of Best tested positive for roids, would he win the gold by default?

Would the runner in lane number four even place in the women's?

I think he set a national record for his country. Just goes to show you how fast all the others were.

And not only that, but got further than most other college football/NFL players with sprinting ability. That's the real accomplishment and it couldn't have happened for a more deserving Cal alum.

He would have gotten the silver medal in the women's final. He ran a 10.79.

Pretty f'in incredible. He's probably faster than 99.99% of the guys we've seen at Memorial and yet he looks like he was pulled from the stands to fill out this field. There's fast and then there's fastest in the world. Maybe Bolt does have the ability to conger up in his mind that he is running from a cheetah.
