Monday evening, I started to think about all the amazing things we’ve seen in the last few days of Olympic competition in London. We’ve seen so many signature moments in this Summer Games, and regardless of where you stand on NBC’s tape-delay policy, I hope you’ve been able to see all of the events in this slideshow.

Cool picture of Usain Bolt! Did you see this article comparing his race to all sprinters over time? http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/08/05/sports/olympics/the-100-meter-dash-one-race-every-medalist-ever.html?smid=fb-share
Yes! I watched that and was amazed…I wonder if I’d have won a medal in 1896…
Ha! If we can go back to the dark ages, I miiiiigght have stood a chance myself… :)
Yeah…I was kinda thinking that about myself, too.
Usain Bolt will not go away. Just when it looks like he’s slipping up a bit, he silences everyone with a new record-setting performance.
And now he wins the *SPOILER ALERT* 200-meters again!
