62 second last lap, and to be honest she was hammering a good 150-200m before that.

What a run for Dibaba!!

Just need a Phelps. For years, the 4 California PAC-12 schools produced a lot of medals for the US and some for other countries as well. This was especially true in swimming. Students, alumni or athletes who train in those facilities won a lot of medals. In comes Michael Phelps and suddenly Baltimore seems the hot place to be. I think in the current Olympics around 3-4 of the US medal-winning swimmers either come from or train in that area.

every country has several phelps, just need to discover and help them properly
In germany for example you have to be really lucky to even come in contact with people who support professional sports as a child. So from our pool of people with great athletic potential, a vast majority simply never even have a chance.

As i understand it your system is different, you can do sport in the highschools and if you are decent at it , the system automatically recognizes it and supports you.

Fuck yeah Murray! Its round 2 of Murray vs Federer at Wimbledon this summer, either Murray finally wins a major championship or Federer wins the only thing that has eluded him in his career.

Question to the Brits out there, how is Team GB doing so far vs expectations?

Personally I'd say we're slightly behind at this point because our women's pursuit team was the fastest but they got DQ'd and we messed up the tactics on the road race, which cost Cavendish too. That's 2 medals that we were favourites for and didn't get, but as people have said we just need one more bronze medal than in China and we've met our goal.

Mike Tyson. Parents if you want your child to succeed you should name them Michael, statistically the most successful name.
