    I said Blake would win for about the last 6 weeks but when Bolt ran the semi you could just sense something special.

    It's not as if Blake didn't put in a great performance, but on the day nobody could live with Bolt.

    That could have been a world record if he hadn't had a poor start! Incredible performance by Bolt. The archaeologists who keep spouting that he's not the fastest human-being ever, because their box of magic tricks produced a couple of spaced out hominid prints in Africa, are nuts! Bolt would have hunter-gathered the **** out of prehistory!

    Counting down the seconds til I'm out of rep jail... Going to see if I can rep out quicker than Bolt would finish 100m

    Can't get away with the woman's boxing either. Don't really do themselves or the fairer sex in general any favours.

    Showjumping quite exciting now, Looks like it's between GB and Netherlands for the Gold.

    Pendleton and Mears have both won their heats, Pendleton in superb form, but you can never write off Mears.

    I love the cycling, just watching Trott now, must admit I find the Omnium confusing.

    Yeah, it's not the easiest event to follow, think this is probably the worst of the six disciplines too. Hopefully Kenny can get us a gold in the sprint later.
