Some Jamaican sprinter ought to change his first name to Lightning.
Several relay teams ought to learn to pass the baton properly - sharing is important.
Some young Kenyan Marathoner might have set the World Record (not just the Olympic Record) had he any competition pushing him (so much for tactical racing for medals); finishing just 2 minutes 6 seconds shy (5 seconds/mile) of Ethiopia's Haile Gebrselassie WR who himself ran the 10K instead, passing on the marathon because of the pollution threat.
What we really learned is despite the worlds attention, China will continue to oppress and suppress its people and the rights we take for granted. Hopefully for the people of China they will have tasted a difference from the influence that the Olympic tourists brought to them and light burning desire that will continue to bring about change from within. What are their leaders afraid of?
