Bolt was amazing, so close to a world record!
I figured there was slim chance of a WR, given that Bolt false started out of his last major competition and was sure to be extra cautious in the final. Sure enough, he was either last out of the blocks or close to it yesterday. But once he hit his stride, he was in another league. He's taking longer strides than anyone else and taking them just as quickly. Amazing when you see him just pull by the field the way he did.
BTW - did you catch that some ^%$^% threw a bottle in behind the runners just after they were called to the "set" position? Obviously trying to cause a false start. Gatlin said he heard it hit behind him and Bolt, but didn't know what it was.
The %^%$ happened to be sitting beside a Judo competitor who promptly pancaked him and turned him over to security. Here's hoping that public flogging is still an availabe punishment in England.
