BOLT IN 9.58 NEW WORLD RECORD


The fastest man on the planet did it again, new world record in 9.58!!!! ESPN analyst Larry Rawson said that during the race Usain Bolt reached a top speed at almost 30 miles an hour. Just to give you an idea of how amazing this race was, Tyson Gay ran a great race and came in second with 9.71 which is a USA record but there's not much you can do when Usain starts striding in the second half of the race. Asafa Powell got the bronze with a 9.84... simply amazing!!
