Usain Bolt

Liam Malone, one of our para-athletes with no legs, reckons he will beat Usain Bolt's record with in the next 3 years :-)

He will have to speed up ?

Missed by some.

Opening ceremony.

Gives me the shivers as it reminds me of the wonderful olympics.

Go Mo,

annie did you see the programme the other night about Bolt. What a lovely chap

I think a Knighthood would be appropriate.

Sir Usain.

I'm sure he'll get something. Everyone else has!!

Yes whitewave, I am a strong supporter of Bolt, he deserves a knighthood Gary Sobers was given one .

Well done Mo, you are great.

One of my sons and his family were there. What a fantastic spectacle to watch.

Do you think Mo will return to the UK once he has stopped racing?
He will not need to train as much.

I wouldn't be surprised if they settled in America, i don't think he had the same respect as British born athletes

dj and mine!!! He has tickets for the whole weekend and next weekend as well I think.

He is reliving the Olympics I think.

They can't afford all that, whitewave. Have you seen the price of the tickets?

They had to pay full price for the kids for one of the sessions, as there were no family tickets left. £50 each. It was probably worth it for Mo.
I hope my grandson coped with the noise!
We're hoping it makes him realise what you have to do when running his own 10ks.

Oh yes my son has no children, makes a massive difference and if course we live very close. He motors up to Ebbfleet I think and takes the train-one stop- to Stratford.

Apparently Mo is going to do roadrunning from now on.
Lots of that over in the UK.
My son is going to do the Morpeth to Newcastle marathon this year, a good roadrun.

I find this very sad.

This is what could happen when they are no longer champions.

I had a doubt that Bolt would take gold after watching the semi yesterday but Bronze! And a drugs cheat takes gold

I, too thought he wouldn't win tonight. It often happens that, the more a sporting event gets 'bigged up' the more of a disappointment it turns out to be. Mind you, at least it was over quickly; I spent all of Mo's race last night convinced he was going to get beat. It was like watching penalty shoot outs. Think I was more exhausted than him at the end of it!

DD1 had our tickets as we are on holiday. She said that a streaker ran the 100m before the final!
We live 45 mins away on the train.

I don't like the way they're making these sporting events more 'showbizzy'.

The big events , Olympics, World, Commonwealth games should be celebrated , the joy and excitement on the faces of youngsters was wonderful to see.

whitewave I loved that programme. I was struck by how he had to rein in his playfulness when in serious training, but it still came out didn't it? I think he is amazing.
