The single most incredible sportsman I have ever seen!!
Amazing.
There are debates all over the internet, regarding how dominant he is as a historical sports figure. You are getting all the Jordan arguements, the Tiger Woods arguements, the many elements and nuances for them.
And as a fanboy of those guys, this dude is making a serious mark. And he isn't really even at his potential peak for the sport. The thing is, there just isn't that big of a fanbase for track and field. Plus it is only a few races here and there every year. So I can't see him ever getting the recognition he deserves. But I think he is easily one of the most dominant of all time. And if it continues, he will make records we won't see beaten for a very long time.
He said he was knackered and was 'Tying up' half way down the straight. I think he can deffo go under 19 secs
This guy aint human.
The Versus commentators absolutely blow so much that it takes from it.
What kills me is the finish, it wasn't even his best finish in the 200m in fact it was really the start that got him the record where in Beijing he took a little longer to get it going and then had an unbelievable finish.
19 seconds :o It sounds ridiculous and beyond the mind but what happens if he can get a start like that and then finish like he's capable. 19 seconds :o
He's got a rocket up his arse!
to get an idea of how dominating he is, look how far behind the rest of the field is when he crosses the finish line
Well yeah:pQuote:

The Science of Sport: Analysis of Bolt's 9.58 WR
An interesting read, for those so inclined.
There isn't analysis yet on the 19.19 200m WR, but when it gets done I'll post it. I expect it will be even more fascinating.
this guy is FAST!
his still young too, man if only he would play football. If he can take hits and catch a ball he'd be a great WR or if he can be a HB it would be fun to watch him run.
hate when people label sportsman "great" so early in their careers but i think its safe to say already at the age of 22 bolt is the greatest athlete of all time.
Never thought id see anyone run under 9.5 in the 100m and 19seconds flat in the 200 but am pretty sure come 2012 bolt will do both.
Michael Phelps winning 8golds by swimming endless laps via different methods does not make him a great. As long as youve mastered the art of being the fastest swimmer in one discipline the rest will eventually follow suit hence why the swimming medals should be pulled back drastically.
Phelps doing the 100m backstroke, butterfly, freestyle, breaststroke etc is the equivelant to athletics having a 100m hop, backwards, walk and so on its just plain stupid
