    Jamaican sprint sensation Usain Bolt demolished his own world record, clocking a scarcely believable 9.58 seconds to win the 100m le at the world athletics championships on Sunday.

    Defending champion Tyson Gay from the United States was second in a personal best of 9.71 and Bolt's countryman Asafa Powell was third in 9.84 as the top five finishers all ran under 9.94.


    Serious question here : is Bolt an extraterrestre ? is he already the greatest ?

    Exactly, I don't know if the people realize 9.58 is a crazy achievement ! If Gay can continue to push Bolt I believe he can dream to have an objective at 9 not saying that bolt is going to break the 9 in his carreer but I'm quite sure 9 could be a realistic target which is already HUGE.
    What Bolt is doing is what Bubka did.

    Did Barry Bonds sodomize Bolt or what?

    It's great that he also runs the 200m and wins it.

    i think he can go faster, that number tag and outfit he wears is creating downforce drag on him....and he seems to have a slow first step off the blocks, if he can improve on that...

    He is also just 22yrs old. Most sprinters are at their peak at 25-28yrs old. I think he can dip to into 9.4's
