... Wow. I watched the men's 100m while deleting some spam. It was over all too quickly, with Jamaica's Usain Bolt dominating the field with a world-record time of 9.69 seconds. Bolt even eased up in the last few meters! I'm normally all about the aquatics, but this was totally amazing.
The tall, laid-back Jamaican raised his arms in triumph well before he crossed the line, sealing a remarkable transition from 200m specialist to winner of the showcase race of the Olympics.
Bolt only began racing the 100m in the past year, putting his fellow sprinters in the shade with his performances. He first really showed his threat in May, when he set a world-record time of 9,72 in New York.

The race was fantastic! He was uber confident the last few metres home...deservedly so I guess. :)
