2008 Olympics Retrospective: Track and Field

The track and field competition was as exciting as ever at this Games. There was a surprising domination by Jamaicans, the incredible failures of the Americans, and the national grieving over Liu Xiang. One name more than any other will be remembered from the track events at these Games, the incredible (and aptly named) Usain Bolt, whose lightning speed led him to 2 world records and the title of fastest man alive.
