Usain Bolt, the fastest man there has ever been.
Incredible athlete.

After watching him take the 100 metres a couple of days back, literally jogging for the last 20 metres en route to the world record, I thought I'd seen it all.

But that 200 metre performance now was phenomenal, i think second and third are still running.

Ripped the world record to shreds at 19.30 seconds, well over 23 mph.

bit of history to watch the fastest man that has ever lived and still only 21 years old.

Awesome performance.

Could have done without the 30-minute victory dance that Thai TV felt vital -- cutting into the US basketball game v Australia.

Come to think of it, Bolt had a better chance of breaking his ankle doing the twist than Aus had of beating the dream team...

Well done Mr Bolt.

Bolt, and as we say in Australia he can certainly do so.

Amazing how these unknowns come out of the athletic woodwork exactly at the right time.

No yellow eyes either which is a plus

yes, i'm very skeptical on the cleanliness of athletes, but this guy is tall and thin and not at all the typical meat head powerhouse drug riddle sprinter.

i think he has some sort of freak physiology like michael Johnson.

What are you talking about?
Michael Johnson had height affliction. His torso was longer than his legs. A veritable dwarf. Very little in common, physiologically, with Bolt, who has great sprinter's proportions.

Can't access Google images at the moment, but have a look ...

freakish physiology is what they have in common.

I was reading something the other day(can't remember where) that said the current world records could only be beaten by a few tenths of a second as the human body isn't able to cope with much more, tendons would start tearing etc. but to see how easily Bolt ran the 100 and 200 i think he could maybe take another half second of his current times in the future.

I was just reading up about him, seems he was breaking records as a junior as well in 2002

there is always a suspicion of drugs and foul play these days but to be honest if anyone in the olympics is gonna get tested it will be him

If he bothers to the run the 100 meters flat out to the line like he did in the 200 today, i reckon he can go 9.5 in the 100.

He has one leg shorter than the other.

Nike spent a fortune to correct the problem and with those famous gold running shoes.

Astounding isn't it. I'm not sure if the same olds true for sprinters but generally atheletes don't even hit peak physical form until sometime in thier late 20's or early 30's. If he can stay motivated and injury free imagine what he has got left to offer!

lightening Bolt is a phenomenon.
Could he also do the 400? and be the first Athelete to win 3 golds at these distances?

Quite tall, in fact by far the tallest 100 meter champ ever.What an athlete though, like he was shot out of a gun at the start.

Certainly wouldn't bet against him being able to at some stage. Huge difference though between the 100, 200m and 400m - and not just the obvious distance differences. Entirely different training programs and race tactics I think.
