What a sprint!
Will he ever keep the pedal down and run through?

It was awasome watching todays race...
1988 the greatest ever? Why? Because a drug cheat beat the WR? I was gobsmacked at the time, but it meant nothing after we found out he'd been cheating.

I liked the 1991 World Championship final
the top 4 from that final were all done for drugs within the next 10 years of that final.
he slowed down near the end as he realized the thing on the table was the medals, not fried chicken.
in case you missed the press conference, he went on to say "as long as i mistake a distant podium for a watermelon field, a gold in 2012 should be a snap" what a class act, lightning bolt!

Maybe he wants to do a Bubka and get more money from more WRs. 🙂

Bolt's got the best chance of being clean versus the other athletes who were head and shoulders better than everyone else.
The guy is just so tall and his legs so long that he covers the distance so much easier than everyone else. His advantage isn't just from hard work; he has a physical advantage that is believeable when it comes to his easy victories.
