I agree, at least Bolts had the good taste to pass up the flag people tried to pass to him.

Now the ritual collapsing and barfing at the finish begins. Hewitt is just too cute for words ;-)

No no ... it's ok to celebrate prior to crossing the finish line only if you aren't a big scary black dude ...
Congrats to all my Aussie friends, great race!!!

CBC: "The temperature must really have gone up because a lot of them are showing fatigue out there."
Umm...or maybe they're tired because they just finished a 2 hour race at an Olympic pace!

Nice recovery by Bennett...to finish 4th.
As for what Snowsill did to win? Dared everyone, including herself, to run that damn fast! Nobody had an answer...PERIOD. Everyone was gaming the bike just fine. It was always going to come down to the run. The men will be the same.

Get diagnosed with asthma at the end of last season...
what tactics or decisions helped Snowsill win it? Did she do anything, aside from hammer the run, that set her up for success?

No kidding! Ide looked like she was going to completely pass out, as did many others. Awesome race and a completley dominating finish by Snowsill. Congrats to the Aussies for 1/3 finish!
One more sleep until the men's race! <bitting fingernails...>

We see the Chinese finish there, very gracious and dignified bowing to the audience.
