You guys HAVE to watch the 200m mens sprint. It will contain humanity at its highest and its lowest (I mean that from an emotional stand point, not because of poor sportsmanship). I will not say more.

I'm not sure what you are referring to...

Usain Bol of course =p.

The "humanity at its highest" refers to Bolt, yes. :)

EDIT:

The lowest was in reference to the look on Wallace Sprearman when he learns that, after having celebrated a bronze medal for several minutes (and he was really happy about it), he was being disqualified. It was a heart breaking look. :(

Churandy Martina who was celebrating a silver medal, was also disqualified for the same reason (steping on the inside line).

On an unrelated note, anybody else been watching the basketball games?  I think Gold is looking pretty inevitable for the US men.  Even the better teams like Spain and Australia just can't match the depth and end up getting worn down, even if they're outshooting us and clamping down the defense early in the game.

lol i laughed when that happened; wrong, i know, but you can't committ such a blunder at the highest stage.  Kinda reminds me of the 2000 winter olympics, where that one Austrailian won the speed skating gold medal, all because the leading four men fell on the final turn XD

See I said it a couple of days before, If USA is not the best they will do everything to make the other country look bad.
