Lately, I get more excited by watching Usain Bolt run than by pretty much any other sporting event. Granted, I'm watching mostly the historic races, but that he's making history like this, right now--and that I can watch it in HD only a couple of hours later--is just incredible.
One day Usain Bolt is going to do something that a normal human being might do. He'll spill his tea, or drop his chicken nuggets, or trip over his shoelaces. ... For now, he astonishes and astounds with everything he does. Maurice Greene, a former 100m world champion and world record holder, summed it up beautifully: "The Earth stopped for a second, and he went to Mars."
I hope he is clean though. It'll be a tragedy to know a few years down the line that he was taking something that remained undetected at the time. Check this video of how stunned Michael Johson is :)
