Usain Bolt.
this guy finished the 100m sprint in 9.69 seconds, breaking his own world-record of 9.72s.
He was so far ahead he started celebrating 20 metres before the finish!
still had time to look to his left & right la!
but he was capable of running faster if he had just bent his body further to the front & stopped looking around so much.
Paula Radcliffe.
a marathon runner from Great Britain.
she was the World record-holder of timing 2:15:25 (which is darn fast btw!)
despite a stress fracture of her left leg in May, she ran for this yr's Olympics while in agony.
can you imagine running 42.195km in pain?!
i cant even imagine running this distance healthy-bodied la!
during the marathon, she stopped a few times to stretch her cramping calf muscle, and strained to finish 23rd with a timing of 2:32:38, 17 minutes slower than her best.
i was so touched i almost teared.
this is what you call true sportsmanship! (:
