Last night in Lausanne, Switzerland, Usain Bolt reminded everyone why he is the "God of sprinting."
In a 200m race that included the defending 200m Olympic Silver medalist (Shawn Crawford), the defending 400m Gold medalist (LaShawn Merritt), and at least one other Olympic finalist, Usain Bolt washed them all away like a mighty flood. Running in a steady rain and into a 0.9 m/s headwind, Bolt ran 19.59 -- the fourth fastest wind-legal time in history.
Hi margin of victory was an astounding 0.82s over Merritt (20.41), who won the race for first mortal sprinter. How do the other runners prepare for a race against Bolt, when they view a race like this?
Results:
1. Usain Bolt 19.59
2. LaShawn Merritt 20.41
3. Churandy Martina 20.76
4. Shawn Crawford 20.80
5. Brendan Christian 20.85

As long as he keeps his antics on hold until AFTER the race, I'm fine with him.
He is damn fast.
Given the conditions this was the fastest 200 ever run and he is obviously the fastest human who has ever lived. A great personality to boot.
can't stop watching 3:23 into the video with the off the curve angle.
