We've been watching the Olympics this past week. And we've seen a lot of incredible Olympic performances. Michael Phelps' 8 Gold medals is beyond belief. He'll go down in history as the best swimmer, ever.
But, the Men's 100m finals were completely amazing to me. I used to run the 100m back in high school. I've seen a lot of 100m races, but nothing quite as spectacular as Jamaica's Usain Bolt.

Just look at this finish line photo.
He set a new world record (9.69 sec.) and made it look easy. And he slowed down before the finish line. I'm still trying to figure that one out. Had he kept going full-speed, he potentially could have run it in 9.5 sec. I'm excited to see how he does in the 200m finals.
On a related note, I found an online game called, Can you beat Usain Bolt? Try it out. It's pretty fun. And yes, I CAN beat Usain Bolt.
Can you beat Usain Bolt?
Here's a screen shot of the game.

Ryan, I can't do it, but I had to laugh at the fingers running the race against Usain.
That's a funny game. I finally beat him on the 3rd race. My poor fingers are so tired now... Better rest them! :)
That photo is amazing! I feel exhausted watching how fast the runners are able to run. I am pretty sure I look like I am running through jell-o compared to the Olympic runners. Wow!, you have to admire their hard work and dedication.
that game was fun... dave and could not beat him together, i'm not even going to try on my own. cheers!
Why would you slow down?
Did he get interviewed?
Did someone ask him?
