Made of fast...

We were have been saying it for months now but to sit down and watch Bolt perform this weekend has been something very special. The kid is a true Rockstar. Chilled, relaxed, jovial and so quiiiick its ridiculous. He destroyed his world record on Saturday but did so running for Olympic gold. The only thing he worried about was placing first, not his time...





One thing is for sure. When this guy settles down and decides to break his world record by perfecting his start, concentrating on himself and not glancing to the other lanes while he runs and then running all the way through the line, he will run an incredibly special time. Only one man will ever to be able to break that time, and that will be him...


Bolt first, daylight second and third, the man is made of fast...


And just to add some speculative spice. He is 21. Looking at home he runs, I reckon he'll clean up the 200m this week and possibly break Michael Johnson's record BUT I don't see why it isn't possible that in London 2012 he doesn't fetch the gold in the 100, 200 and 400m. His victory lap on Saturday was a sub 50 and he was carrying a flag and stopping for photos. Watch this space...
