SI's Daily Olympic Briefing: Aug. 9

LONDON -- He has changed our perception of what is possible, and today Usain Bolt can become the first man in history to win the Olympic 100 and 200 meters in consecutive Games. Do not bet against Superman. Bolt's main competition for the men's 200 final (3:55 p.m.) will be his countryman Yohan Blake, but as SI.com's Tim Layden predicts on SI.com, only history will run with Bolt tonight. "Whether Blake can beat Bolt, or even push him toward the Olympic record of 19.30 (or the world record), the two of them are likely to be far ahead of a field that includes world championship bronze medalist Christophe Lemaitre of France (personal best of 19.80) and Wallace Spearmon of the U.S., who is the seventh-fastest man in history with a time of 19.65, but hasn't run that fast since 2006 and has a season's best of 19.95," says Layden. "They will both chase Blake, who will chase Bolt and, unlike in Kingston, not catch him. A world record would be surprising, but not shocking. An Olympic record would be no surprise at all."
