Ryan Bailey is good-looking, and you can tell he knows it.

Nice sprint for Bolt!

I thought there was a Canadian in one of these semis...?

Bolt shuts it down with 15m to go and still runs a 9.87. The guy is fast, duh

Man Blake looks as effortless as Bolt. Should be a great final.

These qualifiers are are really adding to the drama for the mens 100m final. Powell's performance was shocking, Bolt is freakishly fast, Blake was quick but didn't make it look effortless like Bolt did. 2:50 PM the final starts?

The Brit in the last heat, Adam Gemili is a pretty crazy story. Only 18 years old.

Until 15 months ago, a career in athletics was not on the agenda for Adam Gemili.
Like so many youngsters growing up, he dreamed only of becoming a professional footballer.
He spent time on the books of Chelsea as a schoolboy and was on the verge of earning a professional deal as late as January this year at League Two side Dagenham & Redbridge.

10.03 would have won you a medal in some 100m races in the not too distant past. Now it doesn't even get you in the finals. Stacked final.

This Chinese woman weightlifter looks more like a man than any Chinese man I've ever seen.

Nipple slip in water polo. Australia-China, 3 mins left in 3rd quarter. Hilarious. Not a Chinese nipple either.

So excited for the 100 m final. I want Bolt to win. Justin Gatlin has looked extremely good in the heats though. Can't wait to find out!!

I want Bolt to win too.

Did anyone else just watch that small documentary on him on CTV? What a great person through and through. A true role model for all the children of Jamaica. On the track, he's as cocky as they come, but off the track he's humble a good person.

I think Blake will edge Bolt at the line, solid chance for a WR here.

Anybody else watching the 100m final and thinking we need to let more folks from Jamaica come over to Canada?
