...women’s team was similarly successful, recording three first-place finishes from freshmen Jasmine Cho and Sydnie Leroy, and junior Hilary May in the 400m dash, 800m run, and pole vault, respectively. Cho also crossed the line fourth in the 200m dash, following closely behind junior teammate Katrina Drayton, who posted a third-place finish with a time of 25.57. Another set of contributors for Harvard were sophomores Nicole Cochran and Kirsten Jorgensen, who each placed third in the 1,500 and 3,000m run with times of 4:33.64 and 10:34.86.

Usain Bolt may have just broken the human speed limit. Last week, he took two gold medals in the Olympic 100m, shattering his own world record with a time of 9.69 secs., and the 200m with a time of 19.3 secs., obliterating by two-hundredths of a second the long-standing world record Michael Johnson set at the Atlanta Games...

Bolt became the first runner since Carl Lewis in 1984 to win both the 100m and 200m races at an Olympics. He's the first to ever break world records in each. "I just blew my mind," Bolt said after the race...
...second week of the Olympics is a bonanza of Bolt. Two races, two world records, and one more to go - the 4X100m relay on Friday. People are even mentioning him as they did a certain swimmer last week. "He added spirit to the sport," says Shawn Crawford, the 200m gold medalist in '04, who backed into a silver this time around when two other sprinters were disqualified for stepping out of their lanes.
