Just watched Usain Bolt run the 200m final. And am quite amazed at how fast that man can run 19.19 seconds. Wow. He now has the 100 and 200 metre world records.

I thought the same as you watching him at the Olympics. Amazing man and the speeds he does are very very impressive!!! Can't imagine the amount of training involved in achieving what he has done

The gap between Usain Bolt and the rest just kept growing.  Amazing to watch.

it was just amazing, think of teh breeze that would come off him if he ran past you!

I was reading something about him a couple of days ago mainly about how he does it.  Apparently he goes against the percieved wisdom in theory taller runners should be fast because there stride length is greater but normally shorter runners have faster leg speed they make up for it, so there is an 'optimum' size that means a good stride length with fast leg speed.  Usain Bolt goes against this in that he has a long stride (over a hundred meters he takes 3 or 4 fewer strides than his rivals) but he has similar leg speed to his rivals hence he is so much quicker.

Apparently there are some people who are worried he may set a world record that will never be beaten simply because he is so unusual.

it will be along time before any one beats his record if they can.
teh guy that got second would have beaten eth record if bolt wasnt racing.

He looks like he is having such fun as well!
