Kenya’s Jason Dunford breaks an Olympic Record!
It was very refreshing to find out today that Jason Dunford from Kenya won his heat during today’s men’s 100 meters butterfly at the Beijing Olympic’s and in the process broke the Olympic Record that was set by Michael Phelp’s 4 years ago at the Athens Olympics. Jason had the Olympic record of 51.14 seconds for a brief period of time before it was eclipsed by Milorad Cavic of Serbia in a time of 50.75 seconds. Nevertheless, I am sure lots of us in Kenya (and beyond) are routing for Jason and hope he will win at least a medal in the finals if he makes it through the semi-finals tomorrow. Make it happen Jason!

Good Man!Go on do us proud dude!
He is already in the final. His time was fifth. Crossing our fingers for tommorrow’s final.
I am so proud of Jason and his bro. I’m ecstatic that he’s in the final and wish him nothing but number 1.
Beat Phelps, I’m kinda tired of him and it would mean so much to Jason and Kenyans in general. But no matter what happens, he has definitely exceeded all our expectations and I love me some Dunfords!!!!
I’ve watched every Phelps swim these games, and last night, was bleary eyed (11:30pm in US) when I saw KEN appear next to Phelps US, and lane 5, none-the-less!! (best qualifying time gets lane 4, then 5, 3, 6, 2, 7, 1). AND he was leading at the first length touch!
Yes, he’s in the finals! Good luck Jason.
