Do we black people 'run' this track & field sport or what!
Gong Xi to the fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt.
Usain Bolt is bringing back not one but two gold medals to his home country of Jamaica setting a world record of 19.30 in the 200 meters. This feat broke Michael Johnson's record set in 1996.
Usain also became the first man to snag the gold for both the 100 and 200 meter race since Carl Lewis in 1984.
"I just blew my mind and blew the world's mind," Bolt said.
At first, I have to admit he came off rather cocky which is not a rare personality amongst the greats in this sport. But after watching how he conducted himself after last night's win, I really like this guy.
My sources in Beijing have already informed me of Jamaica's win today in the men's 4x100m relay. Big-Up!

Big Up To Jamaica!
Gong Xi (Congratulations) to Jamaica for their track & field win at the 2008 Beijing Olympics over the weekend!
Usain Bolt, 21, set a world record and won the gold medal in the men's 100-meter run on Saturday. This feat marks the first time Jamaica has ever won a gold medal in the Olympics.
On Sunday, Shelly-Ann Fraser, 21, also brought home the gold medal for the women's 100-meter run. While her teammate, Sherone Simpson brought home the silver.
Now that the U.S. has crack down on the use of steroids by our track & field athletes, it has allowed Jamaica to finally sit on top. And rightfully so.
