New rule makes first bolt from blocks a no-no
Warning: At these Olympics, sprinters will get no warnings.

If that runner happens to be, say, Usain Bolt, it could turn one of the most anticipated moments of the entire Olympics into one huge downer.

Bolt advances to 100 semifinals

Usain Bolt's world beyond reality
Usain Bolt is traveling with an entourage, a bubble, basically, to protect him from the swarms of fanatics at the Olympics ... in the athletes village. That's right, the athletes village. Even other Olympians can't help themselves when they see him. They fall into a frenzy.
Novak Djokovic was asked about being swarmed in the village, and he laughed and said that he's...

Blake aims to extend run of success against Bolt
When Yohan Blake sprinted to the most recent major 100-meter title, at last year's world championships, Usain Bolt was banished from the starting blocks because of a false start.

Men's 100 starts with Bolt, Blake ... and Gatlin
All anyone's talking about ahead of the men's 100 meters is the showdown between Olympic champion Usain Bolt and world champion Yohan Blake, a pair of Jamaicans who train together.

Bolt, Blake could seize London Olympics spotlight
By the time Usain Bolt's showboating, record-breaking, gold-gobbling act on the track got revved up at the Beijing Games four years ago, Michael Phelps already was firmly established as The Star - capital T, capital S - of those Olympics.
Nothing anyone did - even Bolt's unprecedented sweep of the 100, 200 and 4x100-meter relay with best-in-history times - could possibly...

One of my favorite parts of the Olympic viewing experience is finding a niche sport that is fun to watch and explodes in popularity. Sure, it's one thing to watch megastars like Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt, Roger Federer or the USA basketball team.
