2008 Summer Olympics-Jamaica Dominate

The Jamaican team track team has taken sprinting to a new level, and that continued last night. Despite the women's mishandling the baton in the 4X100, the men made up for it. The Men's 4X100 team shattered another world record (not hard when you have the world's fastest man). The win gave the Jamaicans the sweep in the men's sprint competition in the this years Olympics.

In other news on the track, American Bryan Clay won the gold in the Decathlon, becoming the
first American to take gold in the event since 1996. Clay entered the final event with a commanding lead and he was able to cruise to to the gold in the 1500m.

Currently the Redeem team is strugglin
g to establish their legacy and complete their mission by defeating Argentina and advancing to the Olympic Gold Medal round. In the early going the Americans took a commanding lead, but fouls and poor ball handling is allowing Argentina to claw it's way back into the game.
