Nothing in director Paul W.S. Anderson’s schlock drawer — not “Mortal Kombat,” not “Event Horizon,” not “Resident Evil,” not “Alien vs. Predator” — prepares you for the peppy, good-time nastiness that is “Death Race.” It’s a loose remake of “Death Race 2000″ (1975), which imagined a bloodthirsty

-Brussells, Belguim--It's the Usain Bolt Show!ESPN interrupted its normally scheduled programming to deliver news that Usain Bolt ran 9.77 over 100-meters--track is coming slowly coming back. This afternoon, rainy weather, a slow start, and fatigue could not keep Bolt from ending arguably one of the greatest seasons recorded.

Usain Bolt meet the world’s sports fans. World sports fans meet Usain Bolt of Jamaica—the track's newly crowned megastar.-Zurich, Switzerland-The Golden League meet in Zürich was the perfect setting for lightening quick times. A sold out crowd of 22,000 spectators provided an electric atmosphere that produced some extremely fast times.

If this article is posted Monday morning, we can safely say the sporting press is generally racist. We can also say that certain black sportswriters and columnists are little more than shuffling, scuffling, buffoons; house slaves who love “Massa” more than they love themselves.

BEIJING — Jeremy Wariner can forget about catching Michael Johnson for now. He couldn’t catch LaShawn Merritt. Merritt’s powerful, Usain Bolt-like stretch run led a U.S. sweep in the men’s 400 Thursday night, his long stride churning as Wariner, the reigning world champion, 2004 Olympic gold medalist and former Baylor NCAA champion, faded.

While the track and field portion of the Beijing Olympics have been slightly disappointing for Team USA, there have been flashes of greatness as well. No, the Americans didn’t have their normal-dominant outing in the sprint events but you can blame the incredible Jamaican track team for that.

Usain Bolt met Asafa Powell again today for a 100m showdown at the DN Galan Super Grand Prix in Stockholm. In legal wind conditions Powell barely edged out Bolt at the tape. Powell finished in 9.88, Bolt finished in 9.89. Bolt had a slow start, which didn’t help his time, it’s the first time Bolt has lost this season.

Change is a constant. Records come and records go—no one understands this better than Michael Johnson. At the time he set the 200-meter World Record of 19.32, conventional wisdom said it could stand for at least generations of runners. Until last year, no runner has come within a smell of 19.32 seconds.

My rankings are being run on a pilot program this summer and I’m sharing them with the track community via The Final Sprint. Last year I did a trial run on just the men’s 100 meters and it correctly predicted the World Championships medalists in order, and then by the end of the summer readjusted to match Track & Field News’ world rankings nearly exactly.

Even Michael Johnson was "shocked" by 9.76. Usain Bolt should get a bonus for that feat alone. Read Telegraph Pay me! Allyson Felix and Sanya Richards running for real gold after the Olympics.
