What's the most impressive sport? 00:40am on 21 Aug 2008 I must admit, I cant stand synchronised Swimming. When its on the TV, i'm changing the channel!! That said you have to have a lot of respect for the Synchro Swimmers, the shear amount of effort required to do their routines must be immense.

My vote in this is going to the rowers, I could never imagine putting my body through what they put theirs through once a week, let alone for almost each and every day, often for years at a time.

Shouts must also be given to; Cyclists, Gymnasts and Long Distance runners.
Bolt makes the impossible real 00:20am on 21 Aug 2008 Until these olympics there were two athletics records that I thought could not be broken; Johnson's 19.32 in Atlanta and Jonathan Edward's 18.29m in Gothenberg.

Both records reflected 2 of the most physically gifted athletes in their respected sports at the very height of their powers and while I wasnt shocked to see the Lightning Bolt break the 100m record (I still reckon he can break 9.6 with the right conditions and if he tries) I was astonished to see the 200m record go as well. It will be interesting now to see if anyone else can convert a 6ft 5in man to sprint likes hes 5ft 10.

Well done Usain, simply amazing.

P.S. I still think Jonathans record will stand for a very very long time
