They go alright this Kenyan mob. Well done to the Jamaicans in the men's 4 x 100 relay - how good was Lightning Bolt? Exciting World Record - and would have cracked into the 36s if Powell wasn't injured. Shame though it wasn't really competitive - it was daylight that came in second. Tough luck to the Americans, it appeared the third man was accidentally tripped - but that's the luck of relays. Disappointing Japan didn't make it - without the now retired Asahara they just lack that confidence and class to match it with the big boys. I say Asahara should come back for London!

Always exciting and thrilling!

It looked like the 3rd runner for the US team leaned too far to the left and bumped into the British anchor leg and fell. Too bad really. No way would the US have beaten Jamaica, but it would have been good to have them finish.

Congrats to Jamaica and to Pearson of Australia who won the women's 110m hurdles... I think she ran the 4th fastest time in history!

Overall, I enjoyed watching the games. Those Kenyans... Man-o-man they can run and run.

It was un-Australian of me not to mention that! Well done to Pearson - she is a champ for sure and will hopefully lead the way for us in London!

Bolt is just incredible. A wonder to watch. The best race for me though was the 5000 m men's final, fantastic race.

If it weren't for the stupid brit extending his shoulder out like that and knocking the US runner down, it might have been a more interesting race. Oh well.
