didn't see it bloody footy when Olympics are thanks Beijing now

I've never seen anyone make a win look so easy in the 100, he looked like he was jogging at the end. Possibly his height helps it to look easy, but that is unusual for such a tall man to dominate a running event.

That run was amazing. To win in such a time, with such apparant ease...AMAZING

What were those blue "arm shields" that the American in the last race had on??

I didn't actually see them, but I never heard it mentioned on the commentary either.

Nah they werent mentioned, so makes me think that they are not such a big deal...just look really stoopid

You show me anyone who claims Athletics is "clean" I'll show you a liar.

Remember these blokes are running times only 0.05 secs faster than Johnson with Nandralone oozing out of his pores....

Our presenters have Michael Johnson as a guest and asked him about them. Apparently the guy using them reckons they help with the aerodynamics and make him quicker. Everyone in the studio reckoned that was very unlikely but said if he was happy with them then that was his choice.

Agree that they looked a bit silly
