Hopefully it was figuratively and not literally but yeah, the guy is unreal. Just strolling to the finish line... A man among boys. It would be like LeBron playing in Europe...

Enjoy...
Alright I was able to quickly cap a youtube video before it got flagged and uploaded it onto rapidshare. Sorry about the quality, and the fact that the commentary is in spanish, but this should do for now...
There are two different videos, both in spanish...
Its kind of funny to hear how different commentators react to the race... In one of the vids a spanish commentator screams "puta" at the end of the race, jokes lol...
EDIT: Just got a good quality english commentary video, you guys can thank me later haha
I'm going to keep the spanish videos cuz they're so damn funny...

Re: Olympics Forum
Man, this Usain Bolt is like a Ferrari ! When he was about to finish before slowing down his seconds were like 6.8 - 7 and i though he at least would finish below 9.5, but i was even more amazed when he slowed and hit his chest ! Superb ! Fantastic ! Incredible ! ... and a lot of room !

You need to download VLC media player. After getting that, you won't need another media player ever again. Its basically able to play any file format out there...
Pretty small file as well...

US websites go by total numbers of medals
China websites go by total numbers of gold medals
Liukin lost the tie-break for gold is the biggest mistake in gymnastic judging?
i thought the biggest mistake was last time in Athens
they missed calculate the difficulty for the Korean dude
he ended up with silver US ended up getting gold

Actually, everyone except US media goes by total numbers of gold medals. I think that's the IOC standard, too.

Re: Olympics Forum
U.S. is the only country in the world that goes by total medals, rather than gold medals first.

Not more bias than some of the judges. Especially in the gymnastics. BTW, that's bias towards China.

Umm... No. We've always ranked it that way, and we've finished top in Golds for the past three Olympics, but we still ranked by total.
