btw Michael Johnson is a class act, I've heard a lot of his interviews over the years, he's done a lot of BBC work.

His comments about Bolt during these Olympics are more testament to the greatness of Michael Johnson.

I always admire people who take enjoyment from seeing their records broken.

Unlike Fred Trueman for example.

Mark Spitz was very gracious toward Michael Phelps too. You're right. I tend to think more of great champions that can be gracious.

Unlike Barry Bonds (baseball) who is an unmitigated asshole.

Bolt could have gone much faster. He was just cruising at the end.

Bolt must feel even just a little bit miffed that his achievements - which would in the normal course of events be the focal point of the whole Olympics - are somewhat overshadowed by Phelps, surely?

Well ... Bolt won two.

That's 25 percent of Phelps' take.

^Yeah, but I don't just mean solely on the medal haul though (and by the way, I presume Bolt's going to be in the 4x100m relay too? Another chance there maybe).

More like the winner of the 100m is usually the 'star' of the particular Olympics they competed in.

He will be called the fastest man on earth until those times are surpased.
That is a title to hold.
Phelps may hold 8 golds but doesn't have the title.

His is the performance I'll remember most.

I don't think he's going to be even remotely miffed by what went on in the pool Ant.

^^Ummm, might want to check the facts.
I think 6 world records along with his precious metal.

But the men's 100 meters is arguably the premiere event of the Olympics. And since the winner was not American, the TD crowd can revel in his victory.

Lets see. Bolt could run the 100M backwards. Run with both his arms doing a circular motion as well as normal etc!

Johnson had a weird style, but has shown his class on the BBC.

Quite funny saying Bolt would have to improve his running off the bend during the semis if he was serious about 200 m running.

Next to the Open water ten kilometre swim marathon, or the BMX sprint relay team event, the highlight of the Games so far.

Men's basketball is all that's left. Everything else is twaddle.

How does BMX bicycle rate an Olympic event?
