Bolting


Usain Bolt. What a cool name for a sprinter. But he's also got the speed to wear a name like that. This guy is incredible. He comes from Jamaica but he might as well come from Mars. He's been smoking fast even for him lately, not breaking but shattering world records in sprinting as if they were grade school times.

He just ran the 200 meter dash in 19.19 seconds. That's insane. He has now set five world records in five consecutive events. He's set the bar so high he's breaking his own records now, having left everyone else in the dust.

I almost feel sorry for the guys out there chasing him, they are world-class runners, some of the fastest people on the planet, and Bolt's making them look like old grannies with walkers.

About all they can do is fight for second place.
