Phelps just got gold #8. He really is half-dolphin.

Should be a good day for Team GB today, quite a few cycling, rowing and sailing medal opportunities for us. Ben Ainslie had better win something.

I want to hit the Jamaican guy who won the 100m.
He was so conceited.

Not conceited, confident, which is probably why he won.

He started his victory celebration before finishing the race.

You can do that when your winning by 10 meters He's 19 years old in his first Olympics, what do you expect

Wow, Phelps is insane winning 8 gold medals, I also can't believe Torres lost in the 50 Freestyle.
The Bolt guy could have gotten such a better time, if he hadn't slowed down at the end and started celebrating, loled when the Chinese guys started hugging him when he went to hug his mom.

He's 19 years old in his first Olympics, what do you expect In my state running sections, both high school and college, you may be DQed for unsportsmanlike conduct. I would think it should be the same for Olympians who are a model for most athletes.

I don't think so, if you want to celebrate a win you deserve, why be stopped? It's only working against them, slowing their time down.

I have no problem with him celebrating, but not before he even finished.
The race isn't won until its over.

He probably did it out of adrenaline, as I stated, 19 years old, first Olympics, fastest man in the world

Hurrah, 3 Blondes in a Boat just got the gold in the Yngling. One of them is marrying one of our windsurfers and apparently whichever one of them managed to get a gold medal would get to keep their surname once they marry.

It was pretty unsportsmanlike, still anyone who can do what he did celebrating and all and still win the race, is ok with me. Never seen someone move that fast in my life, probally never will see someone run like that.

True, they are saying he could have probally gotten until 9.6, which i don't doubt because it took a lot off his overall time slowing down like that.

They actually said that he could've gotten a 9.5 because he started to celebrate 15 meters before the finish line.

Don't forget that 100 metres isn't actually his speciality too, he prefers the 200 metres...

Those were my thoughts
. He's brilliant anyways, very entertaining, when you're that fast you can do whatever the hell you want as far as I'm concerned
.So proud of GB though <3, we're third overall for medals atm I think
.The 100m Womens final was great though, Jamaicans came 1st and joint 2nd

Yea he should be insane in the 200 meters because his starts aren't the best but he gains speed at like 30-40 meters. Looking forward to seeing that in the future
