IOC prez: Bolt not a 'legend' yet
Not so fast, Usain Bolt. You're not a legend yet.
That's the verdict of International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge. He says the Jamaican sprinter needs to prove his legendary status over more than two Olympics.

Column: Enjoy Bolt for bringing some fun to track
There wasn't any need to shush his doubters this time, because by now Usain Bolt doesn't have any. No reason to celebrate early, either, when there was a chance to make one final statement about just how fast a human being can run.
This one was strictly business, a flat out sprint to the finish and into the record books. Sure, there was the obligatory ''To the World...

Mitchell endures with broken leg
Manteo Mitchell was running full speed, carrying the baton for the U.S. He was running a little slow at first, he said, and felt his ankle cramping at the 50-meter mark. He passed 100-meters, and his leg felt weird. He kept running.
This was the first leg of the 4X400-meter relay semifinal Thursday, and Mitchell kept running while his teammates waited ahead. He got to the halfway...
