One of the many things I'm proud to have and came as a "gift", but I ain't gonna talk about ME. Compared to this dude, I'm a just a nut. This post is to hail the King of Sprint, World's Fastest Man, Usain Bolt. I bet you think he runs really fast, why yes, he does run very very fast. In fact, he was amazingly fast in his last race, which he shattered his own World Record in both the 100m and 200m. If you did not see it...
Thnx Youtube!
Usain Bolt did what was thought to be impossible in athletics, 100m in less than 9.6 seconds. Though, I was more amazed with the way he ran and how far he was from the rest, especially in the 200m finals.
Firstly, as a person that tall and lengthy, he has the most impressive start off the blocks to my opinion, it's also quite a different technique but was it was used to nicely suit his lengthiness and power. The best I have seen maybe the STARTS of his compatriot, Asafa Powell. Besides his starts, look at him power out the curve in the 200m. It's pretty difficult to run the curve as fast as yourself on the straights when you're tall; even at 172cm, its tough; and this guy is 196cm?
Next, he also has an extraordinary power to weight ratio for someone his height. To push that hard going off the blocks amazes me every time I saw the video. I think he took one or two steps less than Tyson Gay -who was pretty good off the blocks too- in the first ten meters. That proves his power.
Lastly, his ability to keep accelerating till 80m is almost impossible, this dude is a very fit dude -kudos to Tyson Gay who did something like that too-. Normal sprinters only reach 50m-60m before maintaining their speed. Like Bolt said, his best part of the race is the last part of the race. That's because when others stop accelerating, he wouldn't, and when others slow down before the finish line, he's just to fast to be able to do that (based on his 9.58s run).
That makes him a World Record holder and would change how professionals see athletics and its potentials. I think he works on his training like a slave. haha. 3 hours a day, 6 days a week; that is tiring. To improve on such a good timing, requires lotsa hardwork. And from what I can see, he may be able to break his own record next year or two..That'll be fun..
Lighting Bolt is his nickname, but if he was American, it'll be USA in Bolt. hahahaha. Oh and Kannathasan -old friend and 4x100 teammate- reminds me of him.
