Gotta Love The Bolt

I have not been overly interested in the Olympics, but you gotta love Usain Bolt. That guy is awesome. He won the 100m the other day, and got the 200m last night. I missed it, and am hanging to find a video of it, but am still searching. The closest I have found is a stills montage on Youtube put to 'Never Gonna Give You Up' by Rick Astley. Didn't quite capture the moment for me.

Cool to see a relatively poor country like Jamaica cleaning up in the Athletics too. In the women's 200m I think it was, Jamaica got all three medals. Good stuff. I also like that not only is his name Bolt, but that that is the name he was born with. Would he have won had he been called Usain Snail? Something to ponder.

Please let me know if you find a video of last nights' race...

Check out yahoo 7's olympic video page - the video is up there. It's awesome, but they don't let you link to it externally.

thanks mate1 That was AWESOME! He looks amazing when he runs, such a tall dude.

Pretty tragic the end of the video when the guy who was second is disqualified and nobody tells him, and he's dancing around unaware...ouch.
