Bolt is amazing, by far the greatest athlete at the 2008 Summer Olympics and continues his greatness.

Bolt is great. But I predict that if he ever begins to reflect, he’s done.

Greatest athlete of the 2008 Olympics was Michael Phelps. He won 8 golds, broke 7 world records, not to mention he did far more heats than anyone else, and did it all in just 7 days, and he was far more versatile, winning the 200/400 IM’s which require every single swimming stroke, plus his events ranged from the sprints(100 m fly) to the medium distance(400 IM).
Phelps is the greatest Olympian ever. Period.
Bolt is certainly the fastest sprinter ever by far, but is he even the greatest sprinter ever? History will tell, but right now, I'd give that particular honor to the great Micheal Johnson.
But yeah, this was a stunning race. 9.58 is just incredible. Bolt is close to being super human right now. Tyson Gay run an excellent race, taking apart the US 100 meters record, but he is just gonna have to go back t the drawing board again, if he wants to stand any chance of beating bolt at the 2012 London Olympics.

Not to take anything away from Phelps, I would agree with you.

Lightning BOLT BUMP!

WOW! He almost puts Hermes & Mercury to shame.
