Re: The most impressive feat in sports recently?

this is even more impressive when you take into consideration that Johnson's 200 record is less than double the 100 record, and by a fair amount at that.

Eh, not so much. You get to come into the second 100 at speed, and that makes up for quite a bit. (EDIT: Reading the rest of the thread, I see this was discussed fairly extensively. His crushing of the old 200m record was pretty amazing in and of itself, relationship to 100m or no.)
Still, I agree with you and Clark. I remember getting home from a cross-country practice that summer just in time for the finals of that event, and seeing Michael Johnson crush that final was easily the coolest thing I've ever seen at the Olympics.
