Hope the team served him up a good feed of bangers and mash afterwards

The high jumper successfully appealed cos the judge put her white flag up for a clean jump before it fell off.

the way he pulled away from them in the relay was nuts. He's in a whole other league. It's a bigger advantage when he's already moving at the start, whereas in the 100m he has to get going first then pull away.

Bolt is amazing.
The problem with "amazing" in sports these days is it immediately triggers the Armstrong Alarm.

The difference is his huge stride though Mont, not explosive acceleration and power. The Juice is not going to help there, the bloke is built like a bipedal farken Gazelle.

i don't think Jamaica can afford the latest and greatest undetectable drugs so he's more than likely clean. A few years ago they came up with the formula for the perfect 100m sprinter and it wasn't like him at all. It was shorter and more powerful to get off the blocks quicker than he does. They figured he was too tall to be able to make up what he lost at the start. Almost like starting in 2nd gear in a car, but he is somehow able to almost match the best off the line and then he uses his speed advantage in the second 50m. That's why the 200m is his preferred event.

I think this is one of my favourite ever sports photos. It just sums up everything about Bolt. The humour, the confidence and the performance. It's just perfect.

I don't disagree. Its just that ever since Lance Armstrong and reinforced by the performances of so many other drug cheats, whenever an athlete vastly outperforms his/her contemporaries they are immediately under suspicion.

A quick and dirty photoshop, hope it's got the same impact
