I’m actually pretty unimpressed with Bolt in his 100, and this is coming from a track and field athlete in college. Rather than setting a world record that could really stand the test of time, you need to beat your chest like an idiot? I’m tired of all these jocks who think they’re world beaters. They should try breaking world records and not acting like idiots, like Phelps.

Also, are you really more worried about Chad Jackson and the offensive line for the Pats over the age of the defense? I know you have a defensive genius for a head coach, but that defense is getting old and was starting to get taken advantage of last year.

As a Brit? How do you think us Paddies feel, you’re third on the medals list and we’ll probably leave without any!

As a Brit, I always dread the Olympics. We never seem to have any natural athletes like the amazing Usain, and we may only ever get one or two swimming medals per tournament (and that’s if we are really lucky). We do seem to fair well on the less mainstream sports such as rowing, sailing,and cycling but really struggle at athletics.

Anyhow hats off to Michael Phelps, he truly is the best swimmer ever.

I caught the 100m completely by accident, and I rewound it on the TiVo seven times to watch. I think that’s one of the most amazing things I have seen in my entire life.

Usain is insane.

Agreed. Usain Bolt in the 100m was one of the most exciting runs since Michael Johnson in the 200 & 400. Looking forward to the 200m finals on Wednesday.

Dog-sitting is the best thing ever. All the happiness and stress release of hanging out with the world’s greatest animal, and no responsibility for more than two days.

(PS your notification of further comments hasn’t worked for me for a while … no issues with any other blogs that I’ve noticed)

A guy I know has a brand new posh car, with central locking. Even the petrol cap door is centrally locked. Guess how much it cost him when the fuse for the petrol cap door broke…

Give me something simple any day.

If you have a food dryer, you might try drying peeled canteloupe slices. It takes a while, but it comes out like candy.
