Another guarenteed medal in the boxing.
I liiiiiiiiiike.
On the Medal's Table front, none of our 3 boxers are in the same categories as the 3 Russian boxers so hopefully some other country will help stop the Ruskies storming up the Table. Russia will finish above us in the medal table. FACT. |

I think his legs might lock up.
I want to put £10 on any other athlete @ 14/1 with BlueSquare
Just looking around to see if there's more impressive prices anywhere.
16/1 Paddy Power |

19.32s in the 200m?  absolutely no chance IMO Why? Beacuse he doesnt 'need' to, if he had class to push him yes, but without any realistic competiton, no... |

I laid on Betfair 1/18
Liked the look of laying him finishing in the top 3 at 1/50.
If it goes wrong, it'll have to go very wrong for him not to win it.
Figured that was just greedy though.

I think he can do it but i dont think he'll try I agree, he is a joy to watch but he needs to stop pissing about, he could injure himself tommorow and never sprint again, he'd feel a proper twat if he didnt set his absoloute best world record time. I think he'll be looking at pulling a Sergei Bubka - beat the record enough for the bonus, but never set the best you can do to continue to make the money. |

1434: There's our first view of Usain Bolt today. He is sitting in the corner of the warm-up area, biting his nails and sobbing. My mistake. He's jogging around the track without a care in the world. Cool as a cucumber.
 Seriously though - watching the sport and chatting about it on the internet, do the BBC Live text updaters have the cushiest job in the world? |

Doesn't look strong enough round the bend for the record. He will win and he will be quick but it's not like it's a record that has looked under threat looking at race times rather than performances Bolts best is 19.67 which is a huge gap from the 19.32 of MJ.
1. 19.32 +0.4 Michael Johnson United States 1 August 1996 Atlanta
2. 19.62 −0.3 Tyson Gay United States 24 June 2007 Indianapolis
3. 19.63 +0.4 Xavier Carter United States 11 July 2006 Lausanne
4. 19.65 ±0.0 Wallace Spearmon United States 28 September 2006 Daegu
5. 19.67 −0.5 Usain Bolt Jamaica 13 July 2008 Athens
6. 19.68 +0.4 Frank Fredericks Namibia 1 August 1996 Atlanta
7. 19.69 +0.9 Walter Dix United States 26 May 2007 Gainesville
8. 19.72 +1.8 Pietro Mennea Italy 12 September 1979 Mexico City
9. 19.73 −0.2 Michael Marsh United States 5 August 1992 Barcelona
10. 19.75 +1.5 Carl Lewis United States 19 June 1983 Indianapolis
+1.7 Joe DeLoach United States 28 September 1988 Seoul
Would be incredible to break that record but getting 2nd in the list would not be a surprise.

Has an Olympic champion ever been such an underdog defending his title?
