Tom Robinson, a huge fan of [...]

The maze is on Tom’s land in Staffordshire, England and...

New rule makes first bolt from blocks a no-no
Warning: At these Olympics, sprinters will get no warnings.
Under the zero-tolerance false-start rule in place for the London Games, a sprinter's mistimed jump from the blocks could destroy four years of hard work in an instant. 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.

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...

Video: Usain Bolt Wanted to Play Cricket. This is an excerpt from Usain’s new film “The Fastest Man Alive“. It is very interesting to think what this exceptional track athlete would do in other sports. The American mind wants him to be a wide out for our favorite NFL team, but Usain would probably still [...]

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.
When Blake beat the world-record holder in the 100 and 200 at the Jamaican trials for the London Olympics, Bolt attributed poor-as-can-be starts in both sprints to hamstring problems connected to a...

Video: Usain Bolt: That Is When I Became The Lightning Bolt. I love how cocky Usain is, and I think this video kind of explains why he is like that. In the video, it is right after he won the Kingston 2002, World Championships at the age of 15. He is a prodigy. He is [...]

Some other things to watch for at Olympic track
There's little doubt that Jamaica's Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake will get plenty of attention at the London Games, where the athletics - aka track and field - competition gets started Friday. Some other story lines to watch for over the next 10 days at 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium:

Olympic flame causes smug warning
You don't just turn off the Olympic flame as if it's your kitchen light and you're going to bed. It's supposed to be eternal, like the Olympic spirit. Sure, sometimes through history, the wind has blown it out while someone was running with the torch or something. There have been little mix-ups.
But you look past them as accidents, impressed by the real effort to...
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. It's another thing to watch NBC's carefully manufactured primetime coverage around the same few sports every quadrennium...
