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.

Usain Bolt: Still the Fastest Man Alive

Last night in London was perhaps the biggest single event in the Olympics: the 100 M dash. The event that basically decides who is fastest once again had an interesting final. Usain Bolt was there and among the other finalists was his main threat, upstart, and training partner, Yohan Blake. In fact, Blake was the World Champion of the event going in and had been a thorn in Usain's side for a while now. It seemed that he finally got the thorn out. Usain Bolt set an Olympic record on the way to a win and a gold medal as he ran a 9.63. Bolt claims gold becoming only the 2nd man to claim gold in the 100 m with the other being Carl Lewis.

If there was a movie role for the part of Flash of the Justice League, you would still have to favor Usain Bolt for the part. Bolt's throne was being contested and he stepped up to defend it well. Yohan Blake did finish 2nd so he's considered the 2nd fastest in the world. Bronze went to Justin Gatlin of the US. Still, the island of Jamaica has to feel on top as they still have Usain Bolt as the fastest man along with another Jamaican next to him. That nation has to be very proud of those two.

Congrats to Usain Bolt on still being he fastest man in the world. Can you spare some speed for the 49ers?
