Usain Bolt - Famous Jamaican 100m Track Sprinter And New World Record Holder

Usain Bolt running 100m in 9.72 sec. Wow! I thought man has run fastest enough so I guess I was wrong. With that time Jamaica track athlete Usain Bolt the now famous Olympic sprinter is definitely the best 100m sprinter. Maybe man could someday run faster that makes them fly. With the new world record this upcoming Beijing Olympic would be an interesting one indeed. I would definitely looking forward for it.

There are three potential 100m winner now. Usain Bolt,Tyson Gay and the previous world record holder Asafa Powell. It would be great if it would come down to photo finish. And perhaps Usain Bolt could achieve the double 100m and 200m. The last person to achieve that feat is the great Carl Lewis.

Well you know what. Usain Bolt has broken the 100m world record with a time 9.69 sec. Congratulation Usain Bolt, the new Olympic track and field star. After seeing him winning the 100m with ease it looks like the 200m world record could be in trouble. Who knows it will be the race of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
