Everyone would have wondered who would win the 100 m dash at the Beijing Olympics 08, as there was a tight competition going on between Usain Bolt, Asafa Powell from Jamaica and the US runner Tyson Gay. No matter what, these three men of African-origin wanted to show their prowess continually.
It is USA's tradition to keep up the glory right from Jesse Owens to Maurice Greene and now with Gay, but unfortunately he could even make it to the grand finale. Now only one man from US was in the line-up and even he was not the best of the favorites. The competition is now between the Jamaican speedsters.
What happened at the finishing moments was something unexpected. The race ended much ahead of the 10 sec timing. Wow, an event that doesnt even last for 10 seconds. Hmmm, the record holder Usain Bolt overtook his own previous track record of 9.72 by the amazing sprint time of 9.68 sec. Who knows, he might have finished much before that time, if he hadn't looked behind at the losing crowd of competitors who were left in dust by this Jamaican Spearhead~~~>
