Timing Technology Behind Olympic Record Results

An anonymous reader writes "We've been on the edge of our seats cheering on the athletes at the Beijing Olympic games — but so often do athletes' victories and defeats rely on accurate timing. As the athletes compete on the world stage behind the scenes technology records their results. This interview with Omega's Christophe Berthaud (video) — the company's 23rd time as official Olympic timekeeper — explores how far the technology has come since the first time it was used in 1932."

So what you're saying is that the US government is either the least corrupt or the least-equal corrupt of all governments? I highly doubt it. Just look at that whole Whitehouse email fiasco :/ I'm not claiming that my country is perfect, but it's just sad that Americans tend to bang on about liberty, democracy, the constitution, blah blah blah - meanwhile their government is walking all over them.
