I have a good feeling that no matter what the outcome of the rest of these Olympics and London in 2012 I will still probably be telling my children about Michael Phelps and the Beijing Olympics. He was everything that was good and right about sports. He’s added his name to those of Jordan, Ruth, and Woods of athletes that have transcended sports.
Usain Bolt is the odds on favorite to do something no man has done since Carl Lewis in 1984, an Olympic win in both the 100 & 200 meter. This guy is insanely fast and if he breaks Michael Johnson’s 200 this may go down as the greatest performance anyone has seen on the track. He was celebrating and dancing before the race started, his shirt was untucked, and his shoe was untied…I’m pretty sure he could run a 9.8 in flip flops and a hooded sweatshirt.
Let’s hope he doesn’t follow it up with a performance like this…
