Usain Bolt

Today, ahden's Photoblog wanna pay tribute to this guy, Usain Bolt from Jamaica. Just in case if you dunno who he is, he is the so called the Fastest Man on earth now as he won the Gold medal in Beijing for 100m Men Sprint. And to add spice on that, he even broke the world record and set it at 9.69 sec, eventhough he aparently slow himself down and start "celebrating" during the last 20m... Now this cause some media, specially those from the west to feel "beh song" again, saying he "celebrated" too quick and should have concentrated in further lowering the world record. But then, Hallo? This is a new world record still, what are you talking about? be appreciative, man...
Later, some photographer discovered one thing, his shoe lace was off during the 100m race! my goodness, can you imagine that? setting a world record in a loose shoe?
well, the latest news is that, he just win the Gold in 200m also, setting world record of 19.3sec. and he is the only one person in history who win both 100m and 200m with world record in a single olympic game, what kind of person is this?

one interesting fact about this guy is that, standing at 193cm, he is the tallest one who ever won these events. and someone actually counted his strides for 100m race and discovered he only use 41.5 strides, compared to 45 from the second place. So, three steps lesser, a lot faster...

lets hope he is not doping....
