Did anybody watch this? Bloody amazing.

Usain Bolt is 5 metres ahead of the field with 20 to run, so he switches off, throws his arms out and coasts over the line and STILL breaks the world record for the 100m in a time of 9.69s.

This has to be one of the most amazing sporting accomplishments in history. It may not sound like much, but to break the world record by 0.03s is outstanding. For this event, its like breaking 1500m swimming record by a minute.


Im awestruck. I feel privelaged to have watched one of sports finest moments. These Olympics have been one of the best ever.

Yes it was truly awesome, he could have smashed it by more but he was almost walking over the line! Incredible!!

He should have smashed it by more if he pushed it to the line.

Sick sick runner

I hate cockiness, but that was truly spectacular and I loved it!

He could've smashed the WR by so much more.

Un-freckin-believable

He was the favourite steve, so no real expertness here. The fact he won wasn't a suprise, but it was the way he done it that was outstanding.

that draw for silver in the womens 100 is a joke... obvious that the girl closest to screen leaned further forward on the line.
