Controversy in the 200m final, but nothing to do with Bolt.
They were about halfway down the homestretch when a "DQ" -- disqualified -- suddenly appeared on the scoreboard next to Spearmon's name. When made aware of it, Spearmon touched his own chest as if to say, "Me?" Then his expression sank. He balled up the American flag he was holding, walked toward the exit at the end of the track and pitched it to Crawford, who had been doing a television interview about his fourth-place finish.
Crawford, also digesting the information on the scoreboard, realized he had just won a bronze medal (it wouldn't be upgraded to silver for nearly two more hours).

Noticeably missing from the dim-witted racial anlysis of Nick Willis' achievement is any mention of athletes' names.
To be fair, this is from the Willis article:
So as Bahrain's Rashid Ramzi strode to gold, with Kenya's Asbel Kipruto Kiprop hard on his heels, there was the famous black singlet coming through to hold off fast-finishing Frenchman Mehdi Baala for bronze.

I must admit if I was looking for the fastest man in the world I'd be looking at the orbit speeds of manned space missions
But then you'd be looking at the man in the fastest vehicle. I think the fastest person from human power is some downhill cyclist (though that sounds dubious).
May I politely request that you do that thing that the other PA writers do to make their links open in a new window?
I have to admit, I thought that bit was done auto-magically. I will do from now on.

I agree with Danielle's coughing.
And if you remove the "__She has broken barriers, both as a NZer and a woman__" from Kyle's statement i agree with him too

I'll have to start a whip-round for my new TV first.
Who knew that Dan Carter suffered from shaving rash? Dude needs product.
Maybe he just read the expose on Prettyprettypretty about men's skin care. </plug>

As for not caring about gymnastics, the American commentary team have been going mental over the women's gymnastics judging
Oh i was trying for sarcasm there.
Oo er - rather puts the Boobs on bikes in perspective.
