What more can you say? Usain Bolt came to London to be a legend and he did just that. The World's Fastest Man to defend his title in the 100/200 meters and neither race was close. He came, he saw, he conquered.
In the 100, he dusted arguably the greatest field ever
by .12 with an Olympic record of 9.63 seconds. Unbelievable that Tyson Gay runs
a 9.8 and doesn’t even medal. This might be more impressive than 2008
considering this field was miles better and he was challenged.
He followed that up in the 200 with even more insanity. He
won his heat easily without breaking a sweat. Then in the final, he got out
quick and left everyone behind to enjoy that cruise to immortality. 19.32
seconds tied what Michael Johnson did in 1996 to set the world record.
This was supposed to be the year he was challenged. His
training partner Yohan Blake beat him at the World Championships and the
Jamaican trials in the 100/200. Justin Gatlin was back from being suspended and
running in top form in the 100. Tyson Gay was healthy and motivated. There’s no
way that Bolt would repeat his effort right??
