Wow, I'm impressed by Usain Bolt. The guy just blew his previous world record out of the water by simply finishing the race without celebrating as he crossed the line. For everyone saying it wasn't possible for someone to get below 9.6 in the 100m, check again... 9.58... Wow is the only thing to describe it.

I have a feeling he can break 9.50. His start out of the blocks was better in Beijing and he was still looking around towards the last 10 meters.

Two fun facts. His mile Pace for the 100 was 2:34. His speed of 9.58 also meant that he was consistently going 23 MPH. If I had to guess, his top speed was slightly above 30 MPH.

He seems to think he can get 9.4, and for some reason, I don't doubt it. The guy just has that "it" factor that allows him to keep getting better.

The guy is definitely the best in his sport. I just wish he hadn't celebrated early at the Olympics!
