That was insane, what an incredible race! I saw a video online of the great American sprinter watching the event live while reporting and he was mouth wide open in shock saying "Oh my god". Bolt surged past everyone so effortlessly and actually eased up and looked around at about…

Cut him some slack, he's the best breaststroker in the world, two gold medals two olympic records, one world record + the other one on another day. Why is he arrogant for telling the truth? he was as…

I thought it was great, he was ecstatic as his team mate came from nowhere to win and shove it down the French guys throat.

Just watched the bout. Suzuki was asleep! touchy feely gi-tugging passive judo while the mongolian was attacking non-stop. He has reason to be very disappointed with that effort.
