She really shouldn't be. She was clearly the best by far and messed up.

Not being too hard on her. She should be proud of herself but I'm sure it's really hard to feel happy with a silver the way it happened.

I didn't know about the South African guy running on blades. I have to admit I have mixed feelings on it.

I felt the same about the Chinese swimmer with flippers.

NBC is getting ripped for their terrible coverage, and that stupid James Bond bit was a new low, but I thoroughly enjoyed hearing some NBC lickspittle say "Everyone knows she will win" of McKayla Maroney.

When they figure out the final times, they will find that this race features the fastest (Bolt), third-fastest (Blake), fourth-fastest (Gatlin) and fifth-fastest (Tyson Gay) times in Olympic history. The only top-five time not present was Bolt’s gold-medal run in Beijing.
