Codgie’s Blog: A Lightning Bolt struck twice in the same place!
Usain Bolt of Jamaica struck twice in Beijing, China, surpassing the prior world records in both the 100m and 200m races. Even though the great Michael Phelps had won eight medals in swimming at the pool, the sheer physical grace, speed and power was masked by the water. Not so at the track. Bolt’s powerful but lithe physique was displayed for all to see, 91,000 at the Bird’s Nest Stadium and billions around the world. Even a four year old could imagine being that fast because running is something we do soon after we learn to walk. Bolt’s times were faster than anyone has ever run before and at age 22, he is young enough to run even faster. The world waits with bated breath for what he will run next. Stay tuned!
