Hopefully that will help get more attention happy

I did get to watch a bit of the swimming and track qualifying... some impressive times posted. I'll be watching more when the actual stuff comes around.

Do you think Michael Phelps will break Mark Spitz's record?

He had a really good chance to in '04. Now, he'll have somoe more company. Did you watch the Olympic Trials? He almost got beaten in the 400 medley (I think that's what event it was), yet still broke the World Record.

Oh gosh, I know Phelps and I hope he breaks the record. I'm sure with those new LZR's he'll be able to get close to his record at least!

Competition could make him better though. We've seen that in the trials.

It's been 20 years since Ben Johnson's positive drug test. Crazy.

Good news for track fans

Bekele to run in 5000-10000 double in Beijing

I'm once again looking forward to the long distance events - one of my favourite moments from Athens was the 5000m final where Bekele, the 10,000m champ and Hicham El Guerouj, the 1500m champ, went head to head, with Guerrouj winning. Should be a good race again this year, especially since Australia's own Craig Mottram is a good chance for a medal.

Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam
