Usain is INSANE!

Bolt's speed is unbelievable. Not only did he win the 100m in world record time, 9.69; but he held back and celebrated for the final 35 feet or so.

Former USA sprinter Michael Johnson has stated that he does not believe Bolt will break his world record time in the 200m.

I disagree.

Although I would love to see the USA reclaim its dominance in sprinting, Usain Bolt has captivated my attention much like Michael Phelps did.

That and the thought of him pushing a bobsled in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada (i.e., the NEXT "Cool Runnings").

is Usain's speed REALLY that much of a surprise??? I mean, look at his name... "BOLT". He's like the Tiger "WOODS" of Track... destined to be great from the very beginning.
I admit,I really know nothing about him! Butt, I DID watch him run last night -- and he was 'quite' impressive.
LOL

Hmmmmmmmmm... maybe I should just stick to music, eh. ;o)

bolt is amazing, phelps is amazing... johnson is a putz... no offense to any americans who like him, but i guess i don't think too much of johnson since my boy donovan bailey left him in the dust...

it was imopressive to see the ease that bolt won with... i mean it is not like this isn't other world class runners with him and he still made it look easy... what a stud!

Canadians - not TOO much offense SL; but all Canadians can talk about is there one sprinter. Oh yeah, they've had two; but Benny Johnson didn't turn out so well. Agreed Michael Johnson had his comments blow up in his face by Bolt. But Donovan BOOley ... Bolt's in a DIFFERENT world class than Canadian athletes. All that to say, Usain Bolt is adjective upon adjective; and he's a heck of a lot fun to watch _ J. Full
