Like a BOLT of Ligntning indeed!!!!!

Wow! From the get go ... Usain Bolt bolted ... heh heh ... pun intended ... from his starting block ... he strided and pushed him self ... at the 60m mark he was clearly ahead of the pack.

With another 20m to go ... Usain knew he won an dropped his hand ... spreading them out in victory ... pumped his chest with his palm and stode past the tape. All in a World Record time of 9.68secs (that's what the screen showed). An amazing feat!

A few secs later, we noticed that the official time was 9.69secs. History has been re-written. Shaving off 0.03sec of the previous WR.

However, in my mind, I continue to ponder the what ifs. Like what if he had not been so audacious and instead to pushed on with his pace. What would have been the new WR? .63, .60 what!!!!

In the slow mo replay that focused on Usain - head-on ... this is what I noticed.

His getting off the block was a little slow ... as he pushed himself on, u could see the determination ... then as he pulled even, his eyes starts to take glances to his right. A moment later as he turned his head to glance to the side, he knew he was unbeatable, he spread his hands in victory. He began to smile and finally pumped his chest as he crossed the finish line.

All I can say to that is Amazing!

Now ... let's wait for the doping results, right? U never know ... this sport has been tainted. But I do hope that Usain Bolt's effort was one that no one can deny. A true sportsman.

Cheers
