For millennia, competition between humans for food, money, and women has come down to who is faster than whom. Track and Field sprints boil this history in ten & twenty second intervals as the most athletic people in the world push the limits of the human body to within a blink of an eye. It’s the oldest and purest competition out there.
So when Usain Bolts struts onto the turf and makes these super-athletes look like third graders, he’s doing more than shattering records. He’s rewriting the rules of physics, the human body and what is possible. And the fact that he can seemingly do such things with a lackadaisical cool and confidence in his own success only magnifies the truth:
He’s a freak. And we should love him for it.

This guy is faster than all explanation. I’m sorry, but when he is competing against Americans…I pull for Bolt.
Is that wrong? If it is, so what.

This dude gets the Jammy women open. And for that I love him.
He isn’t done with the 200 meter record. I remember watch the Olympics and listening to Micheal Johnson and realizing he knew his records where about to be eaten alive.
The 200 meter was never an event that got the publicity of the 100 meters but MJ changed that.
His start was .. magnificent. I mean seriously he was out the blocks and past dude in lane 6 before that cat was out of his start good. The scary part I feel like he slowed down some at the 150 meter mark. But as he said on the interview after this (not shown on this clip but seen on Sportscenter) he was tired. Let that soak in. He set a WR in a major event tired.
This is the new generation of sprinters which was started from the Carl Lewis days of long legged sprinters. When back in the day they used to be basically football wideouts with quick starts.
As a former runner, I am in awe. Then again I used to talk shit to Rocket Ismael or me and the crew used to call him.. I’s a meal.
