Bolt of lightning: Jamaican Usain Bolt wins men’s 100m
In one of the most awesome displays of raw athletic ability we’ve ever seen, Jamaica’s Usain Bolt blew away the field on his way to a gold medal and world record in the men’s 100 meter dash. He even had time to ease up and start his celebration as he was crossing the finish line. At 6′ 5″ he doesn’t look like your typical sprinter. With his long strides and his raw power, the rest of the field didn’t have a chance.

No doubt that his race was impressive, but I’m not a fan of the showboating at the end. Wouldn’t your rather see him run hard until the stripe and try to set the lowest time possible? He showed a lack of respect for his competitors, but bravado is often found in the sport of sprinting.
Good point – the showboating was bit much but as you said bravado and sprinting seem to go hand in hand.
