I think Bolt will win, just slightly slower than his record.
Those mascots are really ing creepy. |

Bolt is simply astonishing.
He didn't even have a good start (not that he needed it), he just came tearing through in the last 2 or 3 seconds. Amazing. |

He definitely had a poor start.... his amazing run would of been record breaking, if he nailed his start.
I know he's a big guy, but that's one of the worst starts I've ever seen him in. |

I'll let you off then... I was about to abuse you for making your predictions about 3 minutes after the event had finished :p |

I thought it was a record-breaking run?
EDIT: Olympic record ;) |

Went up to Embankment for the women's marathon this morning. Again, in the pouring rain, yet an absolutely electric atmosphere. The free events are equally awesome!! Will try and post some pics once these manically fun two weeks are over!
What's really struck me about these Olympics, is the sheer good nature of people; real human spirit. Cheering on each other's teams, rooting for the last runner in a marathon or rowing, and such good nature between all the spectators and volunteers. Genuinely heart-warming to hear and witness. |

That's the feeling we get from watching the games, nice to know it's just like that in person as well :) |
