Bolt shows racing is essential come rain or shine

"he writes his own history with every stride that he takes"

"brilliant beyond compare"

"a talent beyond compare"

"frightening"

Asafa Powell 9.84 a distant third, 9.71 a new American national record....

Could the 4 x 100 be a Beijing repeat? Will the 200m see a new WR as well?

We have been Bolt fans for a long time and perhaps a little harsh on Tyson Gay for being "race shy" or "Bolt shy".

There is little doubt though that Bolt by putting himself on the track through adverse weather over the 100m in Europe has raced himself into shape and into the record books yet again over 100m.

His strategy of seeking out the competition and facing them again and again come rain or shine is a clear lesson to anyone.




To win you must get out there and race hard, prove to yourself and to anyone watching again and again that you are out there to win.

Winners go out and do what they do ... Bolt did just that over 100m in a manner that was stunning and the 200m is yet to come ...
