Hello Roger,

I've been very busy with another things, so didn't have much time to reach a position closer to TV set. I've watched a part of so exciting match between Federer and Del Potro, and of course later have heard about Murray's win over "my" Nole. You surely celebrated, and I wasn't much sad, just because I love all those great tennis guys, but surely Nole is loved and admired most :).

What I hear in walk, is that Serbia has worst results ever.
Well, that's sport. Next time could be better.
Those days my country is ... at crossroad again, and I am afraid where all what goes on may lead us, so here all what happens with our Olympic national team falls down to the second plan. I am making a serious steps to leave this region. If I could be enough smart, I'd do that for over 20 years ago. Now my omnipotent optimism shows up as most expensive sport.

This thread is great and useful, thank you Roger!

Hi Roger,

This was a thrill for me to see this win.

LONDON – It was past midnight here, long after Usain Bolt electrified the Olympics again, having emerged from a slow start to not merely defeat but also break the will of the fastest group of humans ever assembled en route to another gold in the 100 meters.

He sat in a jammed news conference, talking about how the reality of losing in the Jamaican trials had awoken him. He talked about how a confidence borne from his own greatness had made him calm no matter how often he lumbered from starting blocks not built for his 6-foot-5-inch frame. He talked about how the energy from 80,000-plus onlookers left him in the optimum mood to run: calm, relaxed, and ready. He talked about how he'd eaten McDonald's before the race. "Don't judge me," he said.

And then Usain Bolt was asked how desperately he wanted to be known, now and forever, as a legend.

"Do I really need to answer that question?" he said.

He already had. Over 9.63 blistering seconds in a heavily hyped race packed with challengers desperate to unseat him, Usain Bolt answered whatever ridiculous doubts existed about his drive for greatness.
