What's with all the ugly sportsmanship this year? I thought Usain Bolt was bad in the 100, but the men's
and women's British 4x400 teams, in
heats, were just fucking terrible. The woman lollygagged her ass to the line for that last 80 meters or so and almost lost the 3rd qualifying spot. The men's anchor was taunting as he crossed the finish line, waving his baton, doing the "shhhhhh" finger-to-mouth thing, etc. Is your goal in life to be hateable?
I really hope the Jamaicans crush them in the final.

Speaking of crush, the men's 4x100 was hilarious. I think a couple teams were still on the baton exchange when Powell crossed the finish line. Bolt could have won the damned thing, and he was just jogging out the momentum after the handoff and exhorting Powell to go. That's gotta be embarrassing for everyone else. Almost a full second to second place? Wow.

The woman who is part of the diving announcing team is almost Susyn Waldman-level terrible.
