Usain Bolt: The Fastest Man On Earth

Usain Bolt celebrates winning gold and setting new world records in the 100m and 200m events at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

On Saturday, Usain broke the world record for the 100m at 9.69 seconds, three-hundredths of a second better than the previous world record. With about 10 meters to go in the 100, he threw out his arms and pounded his chest as he crossed the finish line.

Bolt then ran the 200m in 19.30 seconds, breaking the world record by two-hundredths of a second less than two hours before his 22nd birthday.

“I’m looking forward to the 4×100,” Bolt said. “I have one (race) to go. I have to refocus again to get one more gold medal.”

DO YOU THINK Usain Bolt’s new world records will ever be broken?

Watching Usain, Michael Phelps, Nastia Liukin and the beach volleyball duo Misty May and Kerri Walsh has been just so much fun. The kids are so inspired by them! Its good for them to have role models that are not tv or movie stars!

another record that will be broken.

records are made to be broke.

athletes get stronger and faster every generation. that’s why every generation surpasses the generation before it in.

OUCH,
I suppose that for you it is more important to ear about People like Paris Hilton and compagnie, but Sport is one of the best thing in this world. That shows people how to face the world with a good spirit, and how to give the best of themself. So this is a great thing, a very great thing.

It is not like Marion Jones’s time. there are drug tests almost everyday for athletes nowadays. he is clean and amazing. But these records will be broken one day as well.
