Watching history being made.

Last night I saw two incredible events. The Olympics have been awesome and awe inspiring, at least as much as I have seen. Michael Phelps took his eighth gold of these games and Usain Bolt slaughtered his own record in the 100M while cruising into the finish beating his chest.



It was so cool to see Phelps get eight because so many were expecting him to do just that and I think he would have been quite disappointed to finish with any less. The best part about his golds is that he had to have support from his teammates for a few of them in the relays.



Usain Bolt is such a freak, in a good way. He looks way too tall to be a good sprinter and yet, fifteen meters before reaching the finish, he slowed, put his hands out palms up, and then beat this chest. Oh yeah, he broke his world record for the gold, too. Crazy!



Both of these athletes are so dominant in their sports right now and don't show any signs of letting up anytime soon. And I get to see the in their dominance.
