The Gold medal tally for Kenya in the Beijing olympics was increased as Wilfred Bungei and Nancy Jebet Langat won the 800 metres and 1500 metres respectively.

In the picture, Wilfred Bungei of Kenya (2246) crosses the finish line first to win the men’s 800m final of the athletics competition in the National Stadium at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games August 23, 2008. The other competitors are Nabil Madi of Algeria (1007), Alfred Kirwa Yego of Kenya (2251), who finished third, Gary Reed of Canada (1295), Ismail Ahmed Ismail of Sudan (2914), who finished second, Yeimer Lopez of Cuba (partially obscured), Nadjim Manseur of Algeria (1008) and Yusuf Saad Kamel of Bahrain.

In this photo, Kenya’s Nancy Jebel Langat crosses the finish line to win the gold in the women’s 1500-meter final during the athletics competitions in the National Stadium at the Beijing 2008 Olympics in Beijing, Saturday, Aug. 23, 2008.

I have to say the man who really caught my eye has to be the great Usain Bolt. At just 21, Bolt has achived the unimaginable by winning the 100 and 200m  races in unbelievable fashion and in world record time. In some cases, he seemed to be strolling towards the finish line.

So what’s your take on the Olympics? Let me hear your view.
