Bolts Wins 200 M and Ashton Eaton Wins Decathlon

Usain Bolt earned a place in track and field history by winning the 100 M for the 2nd time in his career. Yesterday Bolt cemented his name further in Olympic history as did one other athlete.

The other event that Bolt was good at was the 200 M. He ran the semifinal the day before and he looked like he was training. Of course running alongside him for the final was his rival Yohan Blake. Got to make it interesting at least. It didn't make any difference. Bolt still won the race with a 19.32 while Blake came in 2nd with a 19.44. Another Jamaican came in third to claim silver named Warren Weir. Bottom line: Usain Bolt is the only man to get 2 golds in each of the 100 M and 200 M.

Meanwhile, arguably the biggest collective event at the Olympics was happening with the Decathlon taking ten events and being graded on all of them. Events like the 100 M, the Pole Vault, courting a Kardashian (that's the toughest FYI). The man who came through it all was Ashton Eaton from the USA. Eaton finished with 8,869 points while 2nd place (also an American) scored 198 less. He seemed like he had it sealed by the last event.

An amazing day in the Olympics as two athletes grab headlines... along with the over covered win of the US Women's Soccer team over Japan for the Gold Medal (WORLD CUP OR NOTHING, OK!!!) Probably a bigger day for Bolt historically but respect has to be given to Eaton for going through all those grueling events. The Decathlon in the Olympics is likely the most prestigious event to win and he won it.

Congrats to both Bolt and Eaton. They are Kings of the track for this Olympiad.

P.S. Is Bruce Jenner still competing? Someone tell him it's over, please.

Odom Back in LA... for the Clippers this Time

One of the biggest disappointments of the last season in the NBA was Lamar Odom. Maverick's fans and Khloe Kardashian were disappointed with Lamar's overall performance in Dallas. Though Khloe might've been more depressed with the fact that he was in Dallas and not making up BS up for a reality show in LA. Anyway, everyone knows that Lamar would much rather play in LA than anywhere else. Lamar got his wish as he was traded back to LA but to the other team in the Staples Center, the Clippers. He joins he team as part of a four team trade which also sends Mo Williams to the Jazz.

Lamar Odom goes to the Clippers to fill a vital role for them. Despite the fact he will be in a setting more to his liking, fans and analysts will wonder if Lamar can make an impact for them unlike in Dallas. If Odom wants to make this year big for the contract talks looming ahead, he will need to have a great year for the Clippers. Let's just hope this works out.
