Usain Bolt is inhuman...

With an untied shoe... and celebrating for 20m. Thing is the guy gets as good a start as the other people. But his top end speed is ridiculous. Has to be at least 3 m/s higher than the other competitors which is INSANE!
I'm looking forward to the 200m final as well as the 4x100m relay.

Yeah, I had a feeling he was going to do something awesome in the 100m during the semis when he ran, I think it was a 9.92, and looked like he was jogging.
Only 21 also... could be in for some huge things.

His start was actually the slowest in the field by about .02 seconds. Yet he still ran away from them like he was racing me. As Derek said, he's not even in his prime yet.
So I ran an 11.64 recently...that makes me 83% as fast as Usain Bolt. It doesn't sound so bad when you put it in those terms.  |

Scott I am proud to say that I know someone that is that close percentage wise to the fastest man in the world. An 11.64 is nothing to sneeze at either. Nice work.

He looked good in the 200m semi's, he did his what seems like customary slow down 15m's from the finish line.
It's really insane to me that this was his first year running the 100m???
