Even a 9.59! This guy was celebrating 20 meters out from the line.
What a sprint!
Will he ever keep the pedal down and run through?
It was awasome watching todays race...

Takes away nothing from what Johnson did

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!

This time, I hope Bolt's clean.
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.
