Bolt sets world record in 100 meters
Bolt sets world record in 100 meters
By EDDIE PELLS, AP National Writer NEW YORK (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. Bolt was using the 100 as “speed work” to get better for his favorite race, the 200, and also to avoid having to run the more grueling 400. Then, unexpectedly, he ran the world’s second-fastest time a few weeks ago at 9.76. Even with that, he said he wasn’t sure if he would switch out the 400 for the 100 at the Beijing Olympics. http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/new...v=ap&type=lgns |

Is that really his name? Bolt? If so that's an amazing coicidence. If not, genious marketing.
