Bolt is just so impressive. For me it's the consistency, nothing fazes him whatsoever. After the Olympics the pressure was on and then he comes out and runs two world records in a week, phenomenal!!

i honestlt think something fishy is happening in the whole jamaican team...just rememeber that none of the BALCO athletets tested positive until a whistler blower blew the whistle......i'll leave it at that



just moving back to our hurdler will sherman..iirc he's done all this without lottery funding.....of course the danger is now he'll get buckets of cash thrown at him,he'll become lazy....and go backwards..as a vast majority of our young "stars" do

If it were a whole group of eastern europeans smashing records and personal bests' all over the place a la the Jamaicans then there would be all kinds of suspicion and accusations flying around.

I'm cynical about, even more so since those 5 Jamaicans tested positive, didn't get banned because the substance detected wasn't on the banned list, then JADCO over-ruled their own judgement!!

Where was Berlingo the Bear yesterday? I think we should be told.

Options

1) He's been sacked after dropping the Jamaican hurdler.
2) It was throwing it down, and he didn't want to get his fur wet.
3) It was Friday night and he was down the Bier Keller.

Or adding to that:

4) Getting somewhat "over-friendly" with some of the female athletes
5) His pathetic attempts of joining in during the long/middle distance events in the outside lane.
6) Stealing Usain Bolt's thunder after his 200m world record by mimicking the legend's pose during a post-race photo shoot, while Mr Bolt was trying to revel in his glory.

I thought the slow motion replays in the womens high jump was quality tv
