Usain Bolt became the first ever male 100m Olympic gold medalist for Jamaica and he did it in world record time lowering his previous record to 9.69 seconds! Jamaica was well represented in the finals with Micheal Frater also qualifying and running a new personal best and breaking the 10 second barrier for the first time ever for a commendable 9.96. Asafa Powell repeated his fifth place finish from the Athens in 2004 with a time of 9.95 seconds.

Ahhh boy the expected winner, but my favourite disappoints again. A so it go, all the more inspiration for the 4×100. My office a go have a big viewing party with the T&T folks, cause it will be a big showdown. I think the US are getting flack fro poor track performances and will be coming with a vengeance. We can take it but i just hope the order and baton changes are right.
Usain…..next target the sprint double and the 200m record.
