Usain Bolt proved once again that he is the fastest man on the planet by shutting up the doubters and the naysayers to defend his 100m title clocking a new Olympic record (which was also set by him in Beijing) of
9.63s.
In doing so, he joined Carl Lewis (1988) as the only men to win
back-to-back 100m Olympic titles. If he wins the 200m he'll be the first
to win four gold medals in the 100m & 200m combined.
"I said it on the track, people can talk, all they can do is talk. When it comes to championships I bring it." -- Usain Bolt after winning his second 100m gold medal.
Andy Murray cruised past Roger Federer 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 to avenge his loss to the Swiss in the
Wimbledon final a few weeks ago. It was Federer's first
straight sets loss on Centre Court at Wimbledon in 10 years (to Mario
Ancic in 2002). Murray leaves the Olympics with two medals, a gold in
singles and a silver in mixed doubles (with Laura Robson). Meanwhile
Serena and Venus Williams won a record third gold medal in doubles to
take the Williams family's total Olympic medal tally to 8 golds.
Honorable mention to: the Saudi Arabian showjumping team who are
currently ranked #1 after the first team qualification round. In the
individual rankings (after 2 days of qualifying), HRH Prince Abdullah bin Meteb bin Saud is ranked 1st with no penalties, Kamal Bahamdan and Ramzy
Al Duhami are ranked 15th with only 2 time penalties. Only one more day
of qualifying before Wednesday's final rounds. (photo via @SaudiEquestrian)
