Bolt
Micheal Phelps, blah blah. By far the most impressive performance in the Olympics has came from Usain Bolt in the 100 meters: 9.69 seconds, smashing the previous world record of 9.72 sec. What's really impressive is how he did it -- he was one of the last out of the blocks, and he stopped running at about 85 meters and coasted the rest of the way in, not even pumping his arms, and pounding on his chest before the finish line. He could have broken 9.6 if he'd kept running. (I thought that was the first thing trained into sprinters?)

Bolt enters Olympic lore that will be talked about for years to come. The final meters were the exuberance and joy or a 21 year old who happens to be fastest man in the history of the planet leaving the field that included the second fastest man ever to walk the earth. Running sprints at 6'5" Bolt is beauty personified.
