Beijing Olympics Quote Of The Day
This one from Steve Kelley, consistently excellent sportswriter for the Seattle Times, in an article entitled, "Usain Bolt electrifies Beijing, winning the 200 in a world-record time":
If you're old enough to remember the first time you saw Muhammad Ali, the first time you saw Roberto Clemente, the first time you saw Magic Johnson, watching Bolt has that same never-seen-it-before feeling.

I just loved watching the Jamaican sprinters blast record after record, and all in such good humour.
For that reason I can't help feeling like the world's biggest heel when I reflect on the last time I saw record broken by the margins that Bolt and his team-mates broken them by: 1988, when Ben Johnson ran the 100 metres in 9.79 seconds.
