You forgot: Lashinda Demas (silver) 400m hurdles, Eaton (gold) in the decathlon, Christian Taylor and Will Clay (gold and silver) in triple jump, dawn harper and kellie wells (silver and bronze) 100m hurdles.
britney reese and janay deloach (gold and bronze) triple jump. thats all for now.
I know it’s so great to see so many of our own winning medals, especially the GOLD!! I have to admit though, I wasn’t as crazy about Usain Bolt winning because his arrogance stinks!!!! And he even had the nerve to criticize Carl Lewis, that’s too bold for me!!
Carl Lewis is misinformed and many don’t know of his drug tests. Great athletes should celebrate each other’s greatness not sound petty and jealous because someone is better than you. Carl Lewis was great for his time but them came Michael Johnson and now we have Bolt. To a degree they all seem arrogant to us – folks who dont compete at a high level.
Usain Bolt is not arrogant – he knows he’s good. When you’re the best there’s a target on your back. I think he handles it well – foreigners aren’t used to his persona which i think he puts on just for the media.
