The Armchair Olympics Update
This has been a jam-packed weekend; there was a lot going on! If only NBC actually broadcast the races, I’d be all set. I’d sit there and watch commercial after commercial.

After falling halfway back into the field in the 4th heat of the opening round in yesterday’s 100m Olympic Trials, Tyson Gay had a lot of ground to make up. He did well for 70 meters, but then started to slow down. Only a late surge in the last 7 to 10 meters got him…

Michael Johnson giving up Olympic Gold attained through doping
Michael Johnson holds the 200m and 400m world records, and until recently had 5 Olympic Gold medals.
