Mekong Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Phil, Have you noticed how majority of Golds are in Rowing, Sailing, Cycling and Swimming? The nation is in training to emigrate from all the immigrants but can't afford the fuel costs to use conventional means. No Boxing Golds so no one is prepared to stay and fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentors Posted August 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Emma Snowsill of Australia won gold medal in Women's Triathlon with a time of one hour, 58 minutes and 27.66 seconds. The silver medal went to Portugal's Vanessa Fernandes and another Australian, Emma Moffatt, won the bronze medal. Swiss on 5th and 6th place. A Medal or Diploma in a Triathlon should count twice. Triathlon is much more heavier than most disciplines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 BEIJING (Reuters) - Jamaica's Usain Bolt won 100 meters gold at the Beijing Olympics in a world record time on Saturday, running 9.69 seconds to claim victory in an exhilarating showdown with his compatriot Asafa Powell. The 21-year-old won his country's first Olympic title in the blue ribbon event and capped an astonishing rise to the top of his sport. His former world record was 9.72 seconds. Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago won the silver and American Walter Dix the bronze. ...and the Jamaican girls swept the 100 m race. The winner is a cutie 21 y.o. Is it all that jerk chicken down there that they are feeding on? (I love the stuff by the way). Bolt will run a 9.59 or better soon enough. One of those one off european races where you don't have heats and finals. Fresh legs and all that. My God the guy is fast. I'm anxiously awaiting seeing him in the 200, his best race! Forget worlds fastest human. Worlds fastest mammal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
