OK, time for me to bitch and complain now. WTF! The race ended more than 12 hours ago and still no video. Copyright or not, WTF! Release the damn thing already! This is supposed to be a video of the "World's Fastest Man!" (on land anyway).:(

Also, they didn't televise it LIVE here for some dumb a$$, high, f-ed reason!:( I guess it was so we could continue to watch the USA basketball team early in the 1st quarter of their game.........give me a break.

About 32 minutes in.
Unfortunately, you can probably only watch it if you're in the UK.

Maybe google can help you out there?

btw - fast? fast? He BACKED OFF and still killed the World Record

I've been watching the Olympics for a while, and I'm getting a little sick of watching runners back off at the end. You're supposed to run through the finish line.

The biggest thing that's bugged me about the olympics is the abysmal coverage of the cycling. We can watch two hours of rowing while the cycling race is on w/o so much as a cut-to though? meh
All I got to see was the beginning five minutes of a men's and women's.
I feel your pain.

It was televised fully over here - but then, we were likely to win ;)

Seen it live, here. ...Man that fellow can move!! Ran it in like 9.62 sec. New world record, and let up at the end. :p
He didn't seem to have much of a personality though?

If you mean the interview afterwards - I wouldn't have a personality after that!

That, and the way he acted cocky as he run across the line. But hey, he had a right to be a little after that run. :p .....Lightning.

Olympic chess would kick ass. Not so much for America, but I think it would be sweet to have an additional world title.

Olympic Pinball would kick a$$!

Anyway, he's an idiot for not going all out in that race. Can you imagine what kind of record he would have had and how long it would have taken for someone to break it without drugs?;)

Why smash the record when you can beat it, have the parties and celebrations, then beat it a bit more, have more parties and celebrations, then beat it a bit more ... etc ...

In response to OP. Yeah I was really bugged by it too, I woke up early that morning to watch the race since I signed up for alerts from the stupid nbcolympics website and what are they showing? Basketball. Basketball during the actual 100m mens final, what kind of nonsense is that?!?!?!

I've been really put off by NBCs coverage, they need a major :spank:

I totally disagree... I think that NBC has hit it out of the park this year. Between NBS, CNBC, UHD, MSNBC and all the online options I've been able to see just about anything I've wanted to.

I think a video of Bolt highlights to the tune of Reel2Real's song "I Like To Move It" would be kinda cool.:)
