Tyson Gay did not even make the final, how pitiful! Bolt was simply sensational! Well done, chap!

I mean we beat the SA and African time and that of 4yrs ago... Look, its swimming, like athletics. There's skill but there's also natural talent.

Look, its swimming, like athletics. There’s skill but there’s also natural talent. At this point in like Michael Phelps and Team USA are synonymous with that…

On a sadder note, if the South African swimmers have taken on embarrassing us and themselves in Mao's back yard maybe it's time for us to consider a bobsled team like the second grade Jamaican sprinters.

I will be up to watch that final too as I did this morning at 5.30am the disappointment that was the four by 100m freestyle final with the "awesome foursome" displaying quite unawesomeness in coming second last and the Americans snatching victory with the final stroke as their number four swem down the fastest man in the world over 100m. I really do believe though that 'doping' should be renamed 'performance enhancement' and everything should be allowed to go. A 6.978 second 100m record being broken would be much more interesting to watch then these underachieving current duds who are trying to break 9.68sec. But that's just me. I rest.
