I saw Hyunh's quarterfinals match. Damn she is fast!! She very, very good at tackling down low... and once she gets an opponent by the leg, that opponent is going down. But, you know, it's only women's wrestling. Should just return the medal. Worthless.
As for Bolt, is there any more appropriately named person on the planet? With 20 meters to go in the 100, he slowed down, waved to the crowd, slapped his chest in victory, started celebrating right there on the track AND STILL broke the world record. They were saying that if he had the wind at his back, he could go faster. Well, if he didn't start celebrating with a fifth of the race left, he could go faster.... And they have that shot of people crossing the line and he's out way ahead of everyone else.
I think Vanderbeek could have won silver like she did in Athens, but had a bad draw, having to face the former and eventual gold medalist in the quarter-finals. She may well be the 2nd best in the world at her weight class, but she takes home the bronze.
