The Jamaican fellow, Usain Bolt (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/aug/17/bolt-captures-world-record-in-100-meters/), won the gold in the 100 meter by making use of this arduous routine:
BEIJING | An hour after breaking his own world record and becoming the Olympic champion in the 100 meters, Jamaica's Usain Bolt revealed his ordinary preparation for Saturday's two races at the Bird's Nest.
No breakfast.
Slept in until 11 a.m.
Ate chicken nuggets from McDonald's.
Went back to bed for two hours.
Ate more chicken nuggets from McDonald's.
Won a gold medal.
Breaking the mark he set in New York earlier this summer, Bolt ran a 9.69-second race, although he spent the last six strides with his palms toward the sky, his eyes trained on the crowd of nearly 90,000 and finally, a pound of his chest as he crossed the line. The 6-foot-5 Bolt's effort could rank among the best in Olympic track history.
Kinda makes ya weep :aok

Bob Beamons 1968 Mexico City pre competition regimen was better.
The night before the finals, Beamon had been concerned, his mind going over his personal problems. He had lost his scholarship at Texas El-Paso for participating, with other blacks, in a boycott of a meet against Brigham Young, a Mormon school whose racial policies disturbed them. He also wasn't getting along with his wife.
"Everything was wrong," he said. "So I went into town and had a shot of tequila. Man, did I feel loose. I got a good sleep."
