Ho hum, Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt
smashed another record, this time in the 200 meter sprint.
The remarkable Jamaican took gold in 19.19 seconds, shaving just over a tenth of a second off the mark he set in winning the 200m at last year's Beijing Olympics.
Bolt smashed his own 100m world record with a 9.58 seconds clocking in claiming gold in the shorter sprint on the second day of the championshiops.
And his antics afterward, according to Pardon The Interruption's
Twitter account, were almost as entertaining:
Usain Bolt just ran 19.19. Then fake-raced a mascot. Then got hand kissed by cameraman. We'll discuss at 5:30pm ET.
Crazy fast and he just has fun out there.
Did you watch him? He makes it look easy. And fun.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteThere was a very, very good article on him in this month's ESPN magazine, but ESPN hides their mag content (except for Rick Reilly... blegh) behind a pay-wall. I read it while on the plane.
