A quick comparison of how records are being broken in the 100m vs. the Boston Marathon: http://paul.kedrosky.com/archives/2008/08/20/is_100m_sprint.html

 

To throw out an answer to his question, just because there are better training regimens and fitness techniques, doesn't mean they are going to break the records. So often in longer track races, the best runners will stay with the pack so they don't kill themselves early on. If there is a slow race, which happens frequently, a racer isn't going to push himself just for a shot at the record when it could end up hurting him later on.

 

In the sprints, you're just running as fast as you can for a short distance and you're not likely to run out of gas. Either you can do it or you can't.

 

I'm not saying that Bolt is or isn't clean, just playing devil's advocate.

i've been searching the web for the french announcer's call on the 4x100 free relay. i've heard it's glorious.

 

apparently, it was pulled off of youtube and the other links i've tried once i found them don't work. i think that the french have tried to erase the race from their history.

 

at the turn, one of them says "on va gagner! on va gagner!" it ends with him screaming "c'est pas possible! c'est pas possible!"

Got a perplexing question.

 

Why doesn't the sand stick to these four wet bodies?

 

I've lived in the Caribbean and on the North coast of Ohio and every time I would sweat or get wet the sand would stick to me. Has these athletes figured out the how to defy the physics of adheres-ion or is there some special spray they use, If so what is it?

That weightlifter had my favorite reaction to winning.

 

Also, do people really like interviews with people emotionally destroyed by blowing an Olympic medal in the past 10 minutes? That's appalling. And then they chased that hurdler down inside to film her crying last night. I'm a misanthrope, but this leaves me slightly incredulous.
