That’s why they're not called Average Britain

First of all, holy crap that Bolt guy is fast. Much has been made about his pre-finish celebration at the 80 meter mark, but when you run like that for the first 80 meters, you get to do whatever you want at the end. After all: triathlon winners have gone to the sides to give high fives before the finish, Peyton Manning kneels down with the ball at least 10 times per season, and Lance Armstrong drank freaking champagne a few times on the last leg into Paris. So, cut the superfastdude some slack, Costas!

By the way, Jamaica has helped Quarterpoint move into second thanks to not one, but two silver medals in the same event. Oh yeah, there was a tie in the women’s 100 for second, which means double silver in a prestige event! Let the excuse-making begin!

Anyway, Sissy Sara probably feels like she can take a day off of the challenge after her major weekend move into first place. Apparently, Great Britain is the new Japan. I don’t recall what exactly the Brits are good at, but it probably involves oars or pub darts. The updated standings are:

1 Sissy Sara 406
2 Quarterpoint 385
3 Poolmaster 380
4 KillaPascal 366
5 Flippy Flyer 364
6 Dr. Norway 364
7 ET Rage 359
8 Wise Old Anna 355
9 Ukari Figgs 349
10 Halfpoint 349
11 Fuller Monte 345
12 Daniel of the sun 325
13 Full Monte 323
14 BenXiang Jin 321
15 Susan B. nearAnthony 318
16 Daniel of the snow 315
17 Bijou 315
18 Brokeback Alex 313
19 2 Dog Might 312
20 Gharry 310
21 Lisa McDynasty 304
22 Dental Hygenius 284
23 Bloody Mary 245
24 Satchel Paige 241
25 Burg de Brown 229
26 PegLegMeg 225

If you are looking for Lisa McDynasty on that list, look further down, a little more, down there, getting warmer, there she is: 21^st. Now that this heckle is out of the way, watch Germany score 20 golds in bmx biking and sailing…

Burg de Brown is trying to angle in on last place, but he may get stonewalled by Argentina if they win men’s soccer gold.

This contest is far from over, as USA points are starting to add up, and we’re just getting started in track and field…

Stay tuned.
