Default Usain Bolt - Incredible

I think Bolts performance at the Olympics, in the 100m and 200m, is one of the most incredible sporting event I have ever seen. Is anyone else as impressed as me?

Indeed it is a very strong performance, and who can believe that the guy is only 22 years old. The same as me ffs! I've always said it, -86 is a great year of birth.

I think I'm in love with him! What a man, what a man, what a wonderful man!

Track is the original Olympic sport and it's nice to finally see it after all the other hype.

He could have run a 9.5 in the 100m if he didn't quit at the end.

If he puts away the attitude and ego, he'd be even better!

I don't think he has an attitude and excessive ego. Hes just a young man that is happy about his accomplishments.

As much as I don't like it either, it is good for the sport, having a personality like that ...

He was incredible to watch, the 100m seemed like it was effortless to him. As for his antics I found them funny, He just seems like he's having a good time.

On reflection I am beginning to think maybe there is not enough money in sprinting to attract a large pool of athletes, so restricting the level to which the best are achieving. Perhaps Bolt is relatively amazing to those around him at the moment, but maybe there could be more at his level, but circumstances are not right for it at the moment?

i missed his olympics runs, but i saw something on espn classic when he ran against asafa powell. Bolt got a bad jump but burst at the end to beat powell. the sickest thing i've seen. 6'5" and he has burst like that. crazy. though i do think phelps swimming is more impressive just because that much water has more resistance than air.

I was amazed at how fast he is being how tall he is. Usually tall people like that dont excell in the short distance sprint.
