    Lots of impressive performances on the track today. I am not sure which is better...

    The 800M world record by David Rudisha

    or

    Manteo Mitchell of the US ran 200M of his leg of the 4X400 relay on a broken fibula.

    ok,Rudisha was great..amazing race,Bolt pass at history at 200m with the 2 golds in the row olympic games at 100m and 200m
    but Mitchell did something epic!!

    Poor guy. :( Worst Olympic dive of all time. A perfect zero ... at least he won at something. :?
    His name is, appropriately, Feck. Oh feck, that was a bad dive.

    Oh yeah - that poor South African who crashed yesterday! I think he broke his collar bone or something? Good thing they ruled interference and they can race again.
