Just witnessed Phelps securing his place as the most successful Olympian in the history of modern Olympics. 8 for 8!!
But I have to say the most memorable moment of today (US time) was the 100m men's finals on track. I missed seeing it live this morning (I thought it would be broadcast at night time), but managed to catch it on NBC later. Usian Bolt, the Jamaican who won the event, broke the world record in the most relaxing manner ever. And it was almost hilarious the way he looked right and looked left while running, and was already celebrating when he had not even finished the race!!
Bear in mind we are not talking about marathon, in which you have plenty of time to do all sorts of celebration you want if you have a clear advantage; it's 100m race which normally finishes in 10 seconds!!! And there he was, palms up, slapping his chest before even completing his race. And still managed to smash his old world record...
Oh, did I mention that he ran with his shoe lace not properly tied?
