Anybody who saw the 100m final at Beijing had the same reaction - astonishment! I'm sure that has also raised the question of the human speed limit in a lot of our minds. Here is an interesting read on statistical modeling of the natural human limit based on empirical data which may have to be adjusted after those breathtaking 9.69 seconds!

Let the games begin!
The opening ceremony was one of the greatest spectacles I've seen. And that's just from watching through a television. I can only imagine how it must have been inside the Bird's Nest. From the 2008 drummers who kicked things off to the air lap by Li Ning to light the cauldron, it was three hours of amazing artistry. Hats off to China! Hope the rest of the games live up to this spectacular start.
In case you missed it, I'm sure you'll find it on youtube.
