World record!

I can't believe he just broke that record.

Holy cow 43.03 in the 400m

He ****ing shattered Johnson's record

Test him

No one had come within a quarter of a second of that record since Michael Johnson set it. That's insane.

Bolt's reaction is fantastic

WR Progression: 43.86 (1968), 43.29 (1988), 43.18 (1999), 43.03 (2016)

Outside of the long jump, that might be the hardest male track and field record to break.

From lane 8??

Wow. That murdered Johnson's time.

First time ever in Olympics or world championships iirc.

He beat his own PR by 0.45 seconds. I don't know if it's the Ugly American in me, but that does raise eyebrows.

Look at the midget Costas

I'm sure Justin Gatlin could verify for us....

I tend to think of runners as being thin, but that's sure not true of the sprinters. One of those guys looked like Nate Newton from the back as they were getting into their starting stance.
