U.s. 4x100m Teams Both Drop BatonsThe Beijing Olympic track meet has turned into a downright disaster for the American Team especially when their 4x100m teams dropped the batons. The Chinese Hurdle for Glory"He couldn't imagine the pain he was suffering," coach Feng Shuyong said at a news conference Liu didn't attend. "Let me repeat: Liu Xiang will not withdraw unless the pain is unbearable." This Got the Chinese Crying in the Bird's NestIt has stunned not only the Chinese people, but the whole world as Liu Xiang's sudden painful walk-out from the 2008 Olympic Hurdles Event has deprived all of us a moment that had, since 2004 (when he won the 110m hurdles at the Athens Games), been awaited with much anticipation. What Happened to the Fastest Man Under Any Conditions?Last August 16, in Beijing, we saw a massive upset in the semifinal heat of the 100-meter sprint when one of the pre-race favorites, Tyson Gay, failed to qualify by 0.02 seconds. It was supposed to be the scene for the biggest race of the Beijing 2008 Olympics, the sprint to see who will be crowned the world's fastest man. Insane Usain"I've been dreaming of this since I was year high," Bolt said. "So it means a lot more to me actually than the 100 means." The Agony and Glory of the Nike Ad"I didn't feel right when I was warming up before the race. I knew my foot would fail me. I felt painful when I was just jogging." Campbell-brown Takes Women's 200mIt was Jamaica Night again at the National Stadium, this time with Veronica Campbell-Brown doing the honors, easily winning the 200 meters Thursday to cap the first sweep of all four men's and women's Olympic sprints in 20 years. Bolt: a Rare OlympianBolt strikes twice: Earning his second World Record in the Beijing Olympics after sprinting the whole time in the Men's 200meters. The scene: Wednesday night under the hazy lights at the Bird's Nest, constantly glancing at the clock while heaving his chest toward the finish line -- not simply to beat someone for the gold, but to become a part of track's glorious, and sometimes troubled, history. Not One From the Three Reigning Sub 9.8 Runners Managed to Clock the Best Time in the Preliminary HeatsLast Friday Morning, track favorites Usain Bolt, Asafa Powell, and Tyson Gay all made it through their first rounds of the men's 100 meter-dash at the 29th Olympiad in Beijing. These crowd favorites are all reigning sub 9.8 second-runners. But in their preliminary heats, 2 of them (both Jamaicans) just cruised easily to the finish line while their American counterpart did a lot more work to finish first in his first race since hurting his hamstring at the U.S. trials.
