I think any doubt in Bolt is pretty much unfounded. As long as he doesn't false start (which would itself be very unlikely despite the WC) he will win both 100 and 200 imo.

Even with those odds I would hate to have to support Gatlin.

Rudisha confirmed lock. Really hope Symmonds medals.

Paraguay has always been my favorite country

I take it posting pics and discussing JB will be allowed on 2+2 for the duration of the Olympics?

Rudisha is probably going to crush. The guy from Oregon that just won the trials is on a mission tho... a mission to get Paris Hilton air time.

NBC is sending 115 people to London to call the games.

SBNation breaks it down

lol Doc Emrick calling Water Polo.

Should just have Gus Johnson call everything ldo

Im not going to lie, Im going to miss Bela Karolyi

looks like Yohan Blake is ready to wear the crown now...beasted UB in the 100 m Jamaican trials.

bolt's start is lolbad, but ya, it makes it nicely poised

I could be way off here, but do Bolts bad starts recently have to do with him making sure he doesn't fault out of the race and miss the Olympic team?

no olympics for this guy...

Hard to say for sure but it's not crazy to speculate that it's playing a role. (which is why as a casual fan I hate the false start rule)

Probly has more to do with him being 6'5. He's never been particularly great out of the blocks. But yea its not out of the question that its strategic. No reason to risk a dq to win the first 10 meters if ur a near lock to win the race anyway.

dang, anyone see all those american swimmers? sure gotta bad case of the uglies. i think i saw one that was decent and she didn't make it.

they look like dudes. allison schmitt looks like my friend Bob.
