Oops, he did it again: Jamaica’s Usain Bolt sets new world record


It’s hard to know just when the world’s fastest man will stop breaking records for the 100-meter dash.

Usain Bolt again toyed with the limits of our belief Sunday when he laid down a physics-defying time of 9:58 seconds at the world championship finals in Berlin. Perhaps my contact lenses went blurry for a second. Nope. Nine point five eight. Unreal.

Even sports announcers had to look to the extraterrestrial for an explanation.

“There’s no one one this planet - or any other that we know of - to run this fast,” exclaimed NBC announcer and former top-flight sprinter, Ato Boldon, moments after Mr. Bolt’s feat. “He’s a meter-and-a-half faster than anyone else in human history.”

there's little doubt now (as if there was any before) that Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the world
