F'ing AMAZING!

Gay was great as well. He seemed so nervous.

edit: These events always inspire me to get in excellent shape. I'm usually in good shape, but these events push me to work a bit harder  

edit 2: Bekele's 10K was pretty convincing as well!

Bolt jogged his way to quarter finals in 200m. Can't see him get fatigued enough to not get the Gold.

BERLIN — South Africa's track and field federation had been asked to conduct a gender test on an 800-meter runner amid concerns she does not meet the requirements to compete as a woman.

I don't know what would be worse: faking a gender in order to win, or if that is actually a woman
