Are you going to watch the Beiijing Olympics that begin tomorrow?
I think I'll have to get up early in the morning to watch all the competitions but I'm sure it'll be worth it!
What about you? Let know

Never thought anything like that would be possible, it was just unbelieveble the way he ran and got the world record so easily!!

And no wind behind him! He can run below 9.60 I think

Awesome performance. Can't wait to see how fast he can run the 200!

Great job today by all the Brits. Becky Adlington has 2 golds and broke a World Record that had stood since she was a baby. The cyclists grabbed a fistful of medals today too, with more to come.

It may have been a deeply questionable decision to give China the Games, but they're here now and i'm enjoying them.

Im enjoying watching the games to even though Im sleep deprived lol our swimmers cyclists and rowers are awesome, and yes the Jamacian runner looked like he was just out for a morning jog, just wish we still had some good sprinters and distance runners, lets hope there are some youngsters in the pipe line for 2012, hope we can win a few more medals good luck team.

I have to say I am absolutely loving the olympics, mainly due to team GB doing amazingly well and currently 3rd in the table medals league only behind China and USA (who have double the number of competitors). 11 golds so far and it doesnt look like stopping anytime soon.

As for the lightening Bolt - well I was simply dumbstruck by his ability - never have seen someone run the 100m so easily and is going at gentle cruise with 20-25m to go looking around and while doing it breaks the world record - I cant wait to see what time he sets when he tries at 100% - I think 9.50 could be seen and he is only 21 yrs old, and also what a sportsman, he is bring the fun back to the games and hands up to him.
