I watched the Beijing 100m finals last night and witnessed the new worlds fastest man breaking the world record with ease!! The 21-year-old broke his own world record of 9.72 seconds to take the world record too 9.69 seconds. He could have easily gone below that if he had not started celebrating about 15 meters thumping his chest in delight!

It was a brilliant run and the fashion he won it, i wont be surprised if he breaks the record again sooner than later!! With 3 Jamaican’s in the finals, they stand a very good chance of winning the 4 x 100m as well! Bolt will also be featuring in the 200m which incidentally is his favourite race.

The final results.

1. Usain Bolt – Jamaica 9.69 WR

2. Richard Thompson – Trinidad/Tobago 9.89 PB

3. Walter Dix – United States 9.91 PB

4. Churandy Martina – Netherlands Antilles 9.93 NR

5. Asafa Powell – Jamaica 9.95

6. Michael Frater – Jamaica 9.97 PB

7. Marc Burns – Trinidad/Tobago 10.01

8. Darvis Patton – United States 10.03
