At 23 years of ages who knows what heights he will achieve before age calls time upon his career. His 100m world record was impressive especially against the strongest field possible. The pressure, the occasion, the second and third fastest men of all time in the lanes next to him, it all didn't matter.

If the 100m was impressive the 200 was nothing short of unbelievable. Those who watched him lower the 200m world record last year would have seen the anguish in his face. That race was Bolt running flat out and at the time I personally couldn't see him running faster in the near future.

Such is the man he comes back a year later smashes the record and calls his performance "poor." He is a once in a generation athlete who sets new standards in his art. I for one am pleased to be around to watch this man do what he does and long may it continue.
