Olympic Update 2
Uploaded by bsap11

Alright guys, need your help.

Watch the following exchange between NBC announcers Tiki Barber, Jenna Wolfe and Brian Williams.

About 25 seconds in, the conversation turns sour and it sounds like Barber might have thrown in a four-letter word that I can’t repeat.

Did he or didn’t he?

You be the judge.

Usain Bolt Sets World Record in 200 Meters http://blogs.bet.com/news/playahater/usain-bolt-sets-world-record-in-200-meters/ http://blogs.bet.com/news/playahater/usain-bolt-sets-world-record-in-200-meters/#comments Wed, 20 Aug 2008 15:00:43 +0000 Marcus Vanderberg http://blogs.bet.com/news/playahater/usain-bolt-sets-world-record-in-200-meters/ Usain Bolt

Lightning does indeed strike twice.

Usain Bolt broke the world record in the 200 meters, running a 19.30 to take home gold for Jamaica.

Michael Johnson held the old world record at 19.32, a mark he set during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.

For a runner who claimed earlier in the week that he wasn’t interested in breaking records, Bolt actually ran a complete race for the first time in Beijing.

In winning the 200 meters, Bolt becomes the first athlete since Carl Lewis in 1984 to win gold in both the 100 and 200 meters.

Phelps won his eight. Bolt put Jamaica on the map. Team USA is blowing away the competition.

Can we just end the Olympics today?

You have to be kidding me.

We all know about the Spanish basketball team taking a photo making a slit-eyed gesture, mocking the host country, China.
