So Bolt wins again, by a lot. I was reading the story in the G & M, but the best line was the last one, which referred to his win in the 100 m last weekend:
"He bettered his own world record in that race by winning in 9.69 seconds — despite slowing down over the final 20 metres to showboat."
I love the idea of factoring in showboating time. 80 metres of running hard + 20 metres for showboating.
As my niece commented last weekend, why is it only the 100-metre guys who do all these gestures and moves. You don't see swimmers or divers bustin' moves before they compete. It's just odd.
Also, what is with white sprinters who try to look black. Our man from PEI is especially guilty of this. Hey, kid, you're from Spud Island not Bed-stuy. Just be white already! Think Anne of Green Gables.
