...appears that Bolt takes advantage of a little of both. At 6 ft. 5 in., he's nearly half a foot taller than many other gold-medal sprinters; compared to his Olympic competition, Bolt's step was 1 ft. longer, allowing him to cover 100m in 41 steps.

On August 1, employees from Turner Construction—the company responsible for building Harvard's 589,000-square-foot science complex—caused a leak while relining a 300-foot portion of the century-old, brick-lined sewer pipe that runs along Western Avenue. Around 4 a.m., construction crews were pumping near-boiling water into the pipe to set the lining, when visible plumes of styrene-contaminated wator vapor...
...training through injuries is particularly common among Chinese athletes. The high-scoring vaulter Li, for instance, continued competing on the parallel bars in the qualification round even though his arm began bleeding.
