From the AP:

"Like lightning out of nowhere, Usain Bolt is now the world's fastest man. The Jamaican sprinter, who doesn't even consider the 100 meters his best race, set the world record Saturday night with a time of 9.72 seconds at the Reebok Grand Prix, .02 seconds faster than the old mark held by his countryman, Asafa Powell."

Finally someone who is not afraid of big races, he's got GUTS lots of it. I know he's not just a record holder but he's going to reap golds.

Congrats Usain.

Go for the 200 now!

Question of the day: why do so many sprint record breakers come from such a small population....Ja?

Ackees? red dirt? pickney dem walk to school? did I read somewhere that some of us have an advantageous foot geometry?
