Usain Bolt

The guy is insanely good...quite literally head and shoulders above the competition...he himself reckons his fitness is only 85% and was running into a 'vicious headwind'

Hope you can get the video...not sure if it works outside the UK :?

I went to bed before the final but had seen a couple of the heats in the last 2 nights.

In the quarter final he slowed down with 50m to go, had a chat with the fella next to him, looked around, was smiling to everyone and still ran 10.03

In the semi, he slowed down after 30m and clocked 9.89 :shock:

The scary thing is that it looks like the man can run a lot faster ... but why would he when absolutely no-one can get close.

What an awesome athlete.
Dunno, I’m just an idiot.

He was on Top Gear a few weeks back as the 'Star in a reasonably priced car'. Seems like a really sweet guy...funny, confident wthout being an arrogant dh...
