A Norwegian physicist has answered the question running through the minds of more than a billion people who were watching the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and wondered what time Jamaica's Usain Bolt would have clocked in if he had not slowed down towards the end of the 100m sprint where he clocked 9.69 seconds.
The time that the Jamaican thunderBOLT would have clocked in was a staggering 9.55 seconds. Usain Bolt is now in the realm of true athletic legends -- places that athletic heroes go to when they send people's imagination into an uncontrollable tailspin with their astounding feats.

LIU XIANG'S SAD DEPARTURE
IF EVER CHINA HAD AN AFFABLE AND LIKABLE EVERYMAN ATHLETE, THEN LIU XIANG IS THE MAN. IT IS MOST UNFORTUNATE THAT LIU HAS HAD TO PULL OUT OF THE 110M HURDLES DUE TO INJURY.
ONE CAN ONLY SYMPATHIZE WITH LIU ON THE TREMENDOUS PRESSURE HE HAS BEEN UNDER WITH CHINA BEING THE HOST OF THE OLYMPICS GAMES 2008 AND THE GREAT BLOW IT HAS BEEN TO HIM AND THE CHINESE SPORTS FANS WHEN HE HAD TO PULL OUT OF THE RACE.
MAY HE RECOVER AND SHINE LIKE THE STAR HE IS MEANT TO BE FOR CHINA IN THE NEAR FUTURE AGAIN! SPEEDY RECOVERY LIU!!!

CHINA'S FAKERY EXPERTISE
GOSH, PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY CHINA IS THE CAPITAL OF FAKE PRODUCTS IN THE WORLD -- BUT TO SO BLATANTLY SHOWCASE ITS EXPERTISE IN FAKERY BY HAVING ONE GIRL PRETEND TO SING A SPECIALLY COMPOSED OLYMPICS WELCOMING SONG WHILE THE REAL BUT LESS ATTRACTIVE CHILD SANG IT REALLY TAKES THE CAKE.
PIRACY HAS TAKEN A BIZARRE TWIST HERE AND THIS EXAGGERATED ACT OF SAVING FACE RUBBISH BY WANTING TO HAVE A PRETTY CHILD AS A FRONT IS JUST NOT RIGHT.
