Watching the women's superheavyweight weightlifting right now. The russian chick snatched 151 kilos, jesus h christ. First woman to ever snatch more than 150. Im pulling for russian chick, as the chinese lifter is not identifiably female...

Watching that too. Russian chick is a beast, in more ways than one. A lot of the women in group A are struggling to C & J 95 and she's snatching 151, it's unreal.

American girl Robles looks like she has that jerk in her, just needs to get under it for her last attempt.

the female water polo players have to be the discussion as scariest female athletes. not really aesthetically (because there's sure to be some really cute ones), but the fact that they have to be the most likely to be able to kill you in the most different ways.

plus the ones that man the middle are usually huge strong physical specimens.

Water polo scares the **** out of me. The idea of treading water for an hour while people try to dunk my head underwater is like some kind of nightmare.

Usain Bolt is not human. I don't think we've actually seen the fastest he can run the 100, because he's always so far ahead that he can let up at the end.

Just saw the 100M final was posted.

Wtf happened to Asafa Powell? I didn't get a chance to watch it but everyone posted under 10 seconds except for Powell who posted a 11.99. This guy constantly chokes in the big meets.

To the thirty odd countries ahead of mine currently; **** you. **** you.

You will never taste the sweet freedom of downing a Victoria Bitter on a 100 degree December morning. You will never understand the pride one feels when gazing into toilet and seeing the water spin the correct way around. You will never comprehend the beauty of legally hitting on 16-year-olds in public, with no violation of federal legislation.

It was his groin injury. He started off pretty well but halfway through suddenly slowed.
