        0.0 wind for Bolt was amazing too. Most previous records have been set between 1-2m/s (max).

          Phelps reminds me of Tiger Woods. The way he won by a hundreth of a second on a spectacular last minute lunge. And the way Tiger forced a playoff lipping in that 18 foot birdie putt two months ago.

              Craziest things so far this Olympics: Phelps was behind for 99.99% of the 100 fly but still found a way to win.

              and

              Bolt decelerating into a 9.69. Wtf. He should seriously go for a 9.5x sometime ><

                What excites me even more than Bolt's 100M performance is his potential to destroy Michael Johnson's 19.32 (I think) 200M WR. Watching Bolt's final in the 100M, it almost seemed as if he decelerated before reaching his top speed because there was no need to burst through the finish. With an extra 100 meters to run, Bolt can take advantage of his ridiculous top speed and reduce the disadvantage of his "poor" start off the blocks, ideally to get a sub-19 second performance in the 200M.

                    That's not really surprising. It's not like he had a bad start. Phelps is an end-race swimmer. If you watched the rowing events (and I don't blame you if you didn't) you heard them talking about it all the time. Some teams prefer to start strong and coast to the finish. Some teams prefer to keep it steady the entire time. Some teams prefer to keep it slow going into the last stretch then make a huge late effort. Phelps is the latter. In most of his races, the commentators mention how he explodes in the last leg to take the win. That's his style.

                        Re: The 2008 Olympics

                        Well, I was sort of looking for Phelps to overtake Cavic somewhere around 75-80 meters into the race and look a lot more like the 200 fly. But after Phelps made a great turn to stay in it and then start to creep up on him, Cavic maintained his lead with some sort of extra burst. So I was surprised that he was able to do it finally at the end of the 100th meter. It was sort of like watching the stocks on the bottom of the CNBC screen meet up at the very end of the line, if you know what I mean.

                          Heh, Phelps did the impossible. First athlete to win 8 gold medals in a single Games.

                              would have*

                              It's not like he would have been that much faster. He's proving to us all that he's even faster than what he just did. It's like saying "See you in four years. You'll have four years to try to get me."
