Well that was a bit special, wasnt it?Thumping his chest as he crossed the 100m line, Usain Bolt produced yet another truly special moment to light up this 2008 Olympic games.
In only his 9th 100m race, Bolt's start was pretty unspectacular. But this is to be expected, due to his gangly height, at 6'5 to be exact. But as soon as Bolt got motoring after the first 20m, he was uncatchable. No-one could even get near him. And he could have went even faster, had he not decided to showboat in the final stretch. A scary thought.
But take nothing away from Bolt. This was his moment.
It truly was remarkable stuff, in a race where winning margins are usually very slender, by the hundreths of seconds. But this young Jamaican has ripped up the form book, and marked a new era in sprinting.
Even Michael Johnson seems in awe of him, calling it the "greatest 100m performance of all time"
And who could argue with that?
