Great Sport Achievements #2: Usain Bolt Breaks 2 WRs

One of the greatest moments in sport history occurred at the 2009 World Track and Field Championships in Berlin, Germany. Usain Bolt, a Jamaican sprinter broke 2 world records in the same meet; the 100m in 9.58 seconds and the 200m in 19.19 seconds. UNREAL. He  took down a world record in the 200m dash that most thought was untouchable by Michael Johnson of the U.S. (formerly 19.32 seconds). You have to appreciate Usain’s blazing speed and acceleration for a big man; at 6’4″ 190 lbs, he is not your typical build for efficiency in the short sprints. History shows that most of the top sprinters fall in the 5′ 9″ to 6′ 0″ range and 170-180 lbs. I remember watching these performances and being absolutely amazed!

Anyways, enjoy these videos of the fastest man in the world!
