WATERCOOLER CHAT: OLYMPIC UPDATE, INSTANT REPLAY, NASCAR NO NO

Olympic Update

1) Fastest Man on Earth! Usain Bolt won the gold medal in the 200m. He is now the first man since 1979 to hold the 100m and 200m records simultaneously. Bolt set a World Record in the 200m by winning in 19.3 seconds....and, he didn't slow up this time. Some are speculating that Bolt slowed up in the 100m because he already held the world record.

2) Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh did not lose a single set in 14 consecutive Olympic matches (from Athens to Beijing) to win their second consecutive gold medal. No one has ever done that before!

3) Team USA defeated Australia and now faces Argentina in the semifinals. They are really making this basketball competition look pretty easy.

4) U.S. Womens' Volleyball (on the court vs on the beach) defeated Cuba to advance to the gold medal game.

Baseball Update

MLB umpires and management signed an agreement to implement instant replay in the game.

NASCAR Update

Joe Gibbs Racing is in hot water. The powers that be at NASCAR suspended seven members of JGR for attempting to manipulate a horsepower test after a Nationwide Series race last weekend. JGR drivers Tony Stewart and Joey Logano lost 150 driver points and the teams were placed on probabation.
