GO! Smell the lightning, bolt!

August 17th, 2008 by Jim

Did anyone catch the fastest 100m sprint of all time as 6 foot 5 Jamaican Usain Bolt won the Beijing Olympics 100 meters gold medal in a world record 9.69 seconds, gesturing to the crowd and slapping his chest before crossing the line.

Word is 9.5 seconds for the 100m is well within his reach as he approaches his 22nd birthday. He only started running the 100m to help him train for his preferred event, the 200m!

How much faster can man GO!? Do tell…..

Hmmm. It seems to me I read elsewhere that Pagan predicted the results?? The podium and even 5th place? (Er.. is ‘podium’ used in English? Oh never mind, we use it in French ha!) Hum, so you too are into crystals and psychic stuff now mate eh!

Predictions for the 200m then pls!

bolt in gold

I think however a runner from a relatively unknown island could feature,

bolt will finish in 19.2 seconds

Amazing. I’m not sure what kind of limits there are on how fast a person can go because everytime a record is broken we are amazed thinking that no one could have ran the race that fast.
