Yesterday, Usain Bolt once again set a world record in 100m sprint, making him the greatest sprinter of all time. This was amazing race that only one other person had a chance at, the US' own Tyson Gay. This was supposed to be a heated race where Gay was to give Bolt a run for his money. This was not the case, however. Bolt destroyed the field, running a 9.58 world record time. What's even more interesting was the fact that Bolt seemed to pull up slightly at the end, leaving us all wondering if there are many more records for Bolt to surpass. Check out this amazing race!
There were many more great races this year, including many intriguing swimming races with Michael Phelps. He also set world records in the World Championships with what many believe to be inferior swimming suits made by Nike. Apparently, the Arena X-glide suits are far more bouyant than the suits Phelps has been wearing. This is what many believe to be the reason Phelps lost to Paul Biedermann of Germany in the 200m freestyle event. These suits are reported to be going to the wayside, though, as they will be outlawed by the international commission overseeing swimming (FINA), leaving Phelps to possibly retake his title in the race in coming years. Phelps later won a race and showed the world that even at a disadvantage, he is still the world's best wimmer. Take a look.
Whatever the competition, the World Championships allow us to peer at the future of all sports and hint at the next Olympic games. It makes us excited for what might be in store for the world in London, 2012. Don't forget the winter Olympics in 2010. They will be hosted by our neighbor to the north in Vancouver, Canada. We can only hope the Jamaican bobsled team will be there! Here's the great moment in sports history as the Jamaicans inspire us all!
Please share with us your memories of the Olympics and how they inspire you. We look forward to hearing from you!
