Usain Bolt just looks like a phenom though, has there ever been a runner with such long legs that was so good in the first 50 meters? I mean it's unbelievable the starts he gets. I watched the qualifier where he ran against Powell last weekend and again was just blown away and this is a guy who has less then 10 meets at 100 meters and he's doing this! It's ridiculous, I'm a big Gay guy (Rick Majerus shout out), but it's hard not to like Bolt.

And then of course Asafah Powell. Who would have thought at this time last year that Asafah Powell would be almost an afterthought here? But momentum is definitely not on his side here.

I'm super excited for the 100 meters I can not wait.

On the womens side I think Hooker takes it. Hopefully for America Gay and Hooker take home gold to create the funniest newspaper headlines of all time.
No kidding; that'll be funny as sh#t

I am so excited for the Olympics to finally start; love it. Track and Field, gymnastics, Boxing, everything. And the whole Beijing atmosphere should be great.
