Fantastic achievement but I just cant believe that this guy can be running this fast unaided.
With whats recently happened to his fellow countrymen in the athletics world I smell a rat, just like i did when our Linford went from being complete dog turd to world champ, olympic champ and world record holder for no apparant reason.
Athletics is as dodgy as cycling if you ask me.
Close your legs then sweetheart.
Its a remarkable acheivement which drugs had nothing to do with.
He hasn't done it unaided. As his Personal Trainer, I feel I have aided him quite considerably.
We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky And we're always the last when the cream is shared out For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

Yeah , Yeah..
I understand what Usain Bolt has to do with Warrington Wolves Chat..
A total freak (in athletic terms).
I've no doubt he can break 19s for the 200m as he's still making mistakes but has real raw speed.
In my 40+ years of watching athletics I've never seen anyone dominate the sprints like him.
Even when Michael Johnson was winning time and time again in the 400's, the likes of Butch Reynolds and co were not too far behind, but to win the 200 by over half second and 5 meters is simply breath-taking.
Sign him for Wire on the wing.
At 6'5'' not many will be able to outjump him, and I'm sure he could tackle a bit !!! (Not too late for the final!)

His height is the key. Not many at 6'5" can get their legs moving at the pace of smaller sprinters. Put it this way, my team has a player at 6'8". He's not a 'fast' runner, but bloody hell he's hard to catch at full stride simply because each stride covers half the pitch.
A quick google tells me that Bolt takes 40 to 41 strides for the 100m (a 2.5m stride), whereas Walter Dix, the bronze medallist at the Olympics, takes 47 (a 2.1m stride).
Bolt also runs with up to a 114° stride angle, against other sprinters with around 106°. So not only does he have longer legs, a longer stride, take less strides to finish, and run with a bigger stride angle, he can move his legs bloody fast for a big 'un.
What's scary is that his technique in general is awful, and he's a lazy runner (though he did seem to go flat out in the 200m). I wouldn't be surprised to see him smash the 100m further.
