LOL.....you already know the USA media is Bias to anything not made in USA !

If it wasn't for the Trini commentator calling the race on NBC along with Bob Costas I am sure that they would of even down play this monumental task as oh...Gay wasn't there !

Look How Bias These People are...Newday Headline :

With Gay absent, Usain Bolt wins 100m gold
With American record-holder out after failing to qualify, Jamaica's Bolt sets World Record
With Gay absent, Usain Bolt wins 100m gold -- Newsday.com.

I would like to hear how the race was called in JA and Trinidad...anyone have the clip ?

The man was EXCITED, and i don't blame him one bit. Congrats to Richard Thompson.

It did wicked to see 6 out of the 8 runners coming from the Caribbean....and even better to see 2 of them pick up medals.

Yes! Congrats to Thompson thank you for doing Trinidad and Tobago proud.

Nobody told the USA that the men's 100m belongs to the West Indies! 6 out 8 represented the WI!!!!!!
