Usain Bolt smashed olympic and world records to become the fastest man on earth.His timing was 9.69 seconds. He is seen waving to media cameras even before he finishes. Bravo usain Bolt. seems he can beat 9.65 as well




Usain Bolt of Jamaica won the 100 meters Saturday night, set a world record, and did it so easily he was mugging for the camera before he crossed the finish line.
Bolt finished in 9.69 seconds, despite dropping his hands and losing his form about 20 meters from the finish line.
He appeared to glance at the video screen overhead and to his left, then lowered his hands and slowed as he neared the finish line. As he crossed he thumped his chest with his right hand.
Bolt had set the record of 9.72 seconds at a meet on May 31 in New York.
Richard Thompson of Trinidad & Tobago was second. Walter Dix of the U.S. took the bronze.
