Wow Bolt is a maniac, he is truly on another stratosphere, those other guys weren't even close to being competition to him. That was sick
That was the final though and on the biggest stage that he could possibly do it on in his sport. I don't believe there was any reason to just stop doing his best. Powell probably did it during the semis because there was another race after those.
if i was that bald jamican...i would just quit everything now...feel so bad for him though that he got his a$$ dusted
I have never been so confused with the coverage of Olympics. I thought the night games in America were morning games the next day in China. and if you are on the east coast at 11:00 PM, you are watching live. but west coasters are getting a "live" tag, but it's really a three hour delay. so phelps 8th gold was in the last hour or two in real time, correct? what is the 14 hour comment in reference to?
cool. I already got burned by logging on just now, as I havent seen the Phelps relay yet over here on the left coast... damn coverage!
Beijing is 12 hours ahead of EDT, 13 ahead of CDT, etc. Depends on the event being shown really but for the most part the primetime events have been live. Yes, I believe Mountain time people are also getting this. Yes, it was live. The 100 M Mens track and field finale was held 14 hours ago but was rebroadcast in a primetime slot.
Beijing is only 12 hours ahead of us in the ET zone. Because the basketball game was shown live here this morning when it started. The night stuff should typically be the next morning stuff in the ET zone, but some of it is last night replays to fill time before the events start in the morning. At least that is how it has gone so far.
Is Phelps 8th gold medal video currently on the NBC Olympic website as streaming video? I can't seem to find it. I have been watching all the Olympics coverage on their website so far.
