Women's fencing, and not Usain Bolt's insane bolt to the finish becomes the focus of this article.
Clear face masks allow viewers to see the fencers' faces better than the old mesh ones, and the effect is increased drama and emotion. Check out these photos from The Big Picture to get a sense.
Interesting fact: Synchronized swimmers use gelatin to keep their hair so controlled.
Another one: When Lane went to Beijing, he ate Snickers bars and McDonalds because he says the organizers didn't build any good restaurants in the Olympic zone.
