Jamaica held its breath! Traffic came to a standstill as we watched.

I am a fan of Usain Bolt and he is the best athlete we have right now - And what makes me happy about him is the fact that has has been able to outperform so many others and it has been years he has been doing it.

I can feel the pride in your post . We indeed feel proud specially if they are our fellow countrymen . Good morning from the Philippines.

of course Usain won, duh

Congratulations. I was thinking about you just last night because we hadn't seen you in a couple of days. You really can't worry us like that! Did you ever get hit by that hurricane??

Bolt is a living legend and he is a pleasant guy. I read that he wanted to play soccer later, and I would be amazed to see him during a match. Your country has a lot of luck to have this kind of champions. Congratulations.

Is this running you are referring to cynthiann? I do not follow it so sorry for my ignorance.

Sports can make us hold our breath and suspend action like nothing else can.

Heartiest Congratulation to you and Usain Bolt. Undoubtedly, he is the best and fastest athlete on this planet. Nothing succeeds like success so he deserves all the accolade and his country men too. It is always a great thrill to watch him winning the 100 meter sprint. I am his fan.

One of the things that I really admired him about was the courage to step away from the norm of being recruited into the US and represent USA like previous well known Jamaica athletes in the past. He really taught I suppose Jamaicans what patriotism means. Then when he showed up at our Summer Olympics all of us including me just fell in love with his audacious performance on the track event the century sprint. What audacity where even the ex-IOC Chairman had to admire him from the stands. He commands the attention of the crowd even when he is not breaking the world records. He is a real exemplary athlete off the field too never react temperamentally even when he was tripped over by one of the cameramen covering his celebration lap after his win. A true gentleman indeed. It will be sad and a great lost to athletics if he retires however, I hope the Jamaicans in the future would be like him and represent Jamaica instead of another country.

Congratulations on both wins! Usain Bolt is in a league of his own. He is untouchable as of the moment and I'm thankful that I have witnessed him in his prime.

I am not into sports, but I bet that was some event that happened. Stopping traffic. Now that is one for the books.

Sorry I didn't respond until now, but you wrote and suggested this post the first week of school, I was very scatterbrained at the time. So I guess this is a good thing that happened?
