The World Championships have now passed without a single medal to Sweden :( In a way it's sad that Carolina Klüft no longer competes in Heptathlon, but then, I can understand that when you've won everything and no one can challenge you you feel like moving on to other things. She still placed best of the Swedes, fifth in High Jump. So, well, she's still best of the Swedes :p
Fun that Christian Olsson is back, even though he only did four jumps.
And, of course, Usain Bolt. Warching him run is fucking beautiful. If you didn't watch the 200 meter final then do! And watch the 4x100 meter men's final as well, Jamaica were just superb. And new world records are always fun.
I like Usain Bolt, he's a real superstar, and I think athletics need that. We need the divas, but we also need the people who show and dance and seem to think everything is so funny.
