How many of you saw it live? I was up at midnight watching it.
That's just got to be one of the craziest thing I have ever seen. He gets a new world record, and he wasn't even trying his hardest. I mean, for the last 10-20 meters he had his arms outstretched celebrating. And he made a freaking world record! I think he could probably get something like a 9.66 if he tried hard enough. What do you think?

Broke the world record without try his hardest? That's awesome.

And no, I didn't see it.

9.66? joke?

He'd at least have got 9.55. He was slowing down 10m before the line.

But yeah, epic, epic race.

I love how he went crazy after he won, ran over to his mom and whatnot.

Normally I would think that was a bit showy but that was his first medal and he won by sooooo much, this guy is my new fav in the olympics (my old one was Lezak, the guy who swam that amazing 50m comeback in the US 4x2 relay in swimming)

Oh and when does Bolt run his 200, which he is even more of a favorite in?

I laughed when Bolt ran to his mom to hug her, and some Asian guy got all up in it. Hilarious IMO.

In all seriousness though, he probably could have broke 9.50 if he really cared about the world record; but from his demeanor, he looked like he was just concerned with winning gold. Crazy speed nevertheless.

9.50?? Are you kidding me??

But yeah it was a very big deal, the first gold medal won for Jamaica in addition to being the fastest man alive. HE'S ONLY BEEN RUNNING THE 100M DASH FOR LESS THAN A YEAR!

wouldn't you need to win the 400m to be the fastest man alive? someone could've whipped him in that.

No, the 400m dash is a more technical race. You don't sprint your hardest from the start, you go about 90% until you get to the last 200-150 meters of the race. And besides, Jeremy Weriner owns that race anyway.

Do you know how hard it is to just get 0.01 faster at that speed?

That's why he's earned the nickname "lightning Bolt".
