Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt and Yelena Isinbayeva

As you probably know, Beijing 2008 Olympic Games is full of history and world records; But there are 3 athletics made this Olympic Games the most special one I've seen till now, and what they did in the Olympic games, I'll never forget.

Michael Phelps: Best swimmer in history (although he had learning disabilities when he was a kid), earned 8 (!!!) Gold medals in Beijing Olympic Games, more than anyone else. I cannot forget his fabulous finish in 100M butterfly preceeding his competitor Chavich in 0.01 second, or when he made fun of his competitors in 200M mixed leaving them far far away from him.



Usain Bolt: Fastet runner in the world! breaking his own world record in 100M and Michael Johnson's 12 years old world record. Reaches 46KM per Hour!. Everyone had been in shock when he celebrated his win 20 meters before the end line in 100M run, end with first gear AND getting new world record!



Yelena Isinbayeva: This girl breaked her own world record 24 times (!!!) in pole high jump, and the most delicious one was the last, when she competed herself (and although she assured her gold medal) and succeeded jump 5.05M. I like isolating relaxing herself moment before getting started.
