The Official 2012 London Olympics Thread

But he's not just doing distance. He's doing different strokes as well, all of which require different skills and muscles to succeed. If Bolt wants more medals he can do hurdles, 400 meter races, etc. Carl Lewis managed to win the 100, 200, and long jump.

Exactly, which gives him even more chances, which makes it even MORE farcical.

You're really comparing the difference between freestyle and backstroke to doing a 100m and doing hurdles?


Unfortunately for sprinters, there is only 1 way to run.

Phelps is the greatest swimmer ever, Bolt is a phenomenon.

I'm happy for Mo Farah for another reason.

As an Arsenal fan, he just got his first taste of what a crowd sounds like.

They could do away with all the specialized swimming strokes, honestly. If doing the Butterfly isn't the fastest way to get from one end of the pool to the other, then what's the point?

It's every bit as absurd as the Racewalking that everyone finds ridiculous.

Not everyone excel in every stroke that's the point of the difference races. Phelps is just unbelievably talented
