    i don't think i've ever seen anyone toy with the 100m field the way bolt has this olympics. 9.69 while slowing up and celebrating.

    That bolt guys is just ridiculous. He started to celebrate with 15 meters left and still broke the world records easily. What the heck is that?

    Bolt could run 9.50 in the future.

    my mom said, maybe he gets paid every time he breaks the record. so he is just trying to milk it all the way to 9.5 seconds. :D

    He is the one and only lightning bolt! That's speed! colts should sign him as a wide receiver! 6-5 and 4.1 40 speed! :eek: He will make all other receivers look like they are in slow motion.

    Same here. He made it look easy, but still...show some respect. Wait till the race is over for that crap.

    Bolt's sprint was bizarre -- 15 meters out celebrating and decelerating but still crushing the world record ~ 9.69 !

    He was running 27+ miles per hour -- that is crazy fast for a human.

    at least he didn't wear those tight arm sleeves. those make him look like a girl with big muscles.

    it seemed like he even gained ground while he was shutting it down and celebrating.

    i dont know how anybody could knock him for celebrating and not running the fastest race he possibly could. it made it that much more memorable and awesome. cant take away the 1 spot from phelps, but i put this as the 2nd best olympic moment these games.

    Its a tactic among runners. Run fast enough to get the gold, but if you can get away with it, dont show how fast you really are. keeps your opponents from knowing what to train for. Asafa Powell did the same thin during the semi finals
