BOLT SETS NEW 100m WORLD RECORD:
Usain Bolt set a new 100m world record by clocking 9.72 seconds at the Reebok Grand Prix meeting in New York last night Sat 31st May 2008.
The 21-year-old Jamaican, who won silver in the 200m at last year`s World Campionships, was running the 100m for just the fifth time.
Bolt beats the previous best of 9.74 set by compatriot Asafa Powell.
The 6ft 5ins sprinter made the track world sit up and take note on 3 May when he clocked the second-fastest 100m time in history in 9.76s.

I just watched the race - amazing! And it wasn't even a dry track. The timing at the finish showed 9.71 sec so it must have been rounded up.

And now a 19.30 sec 200m record - at least it looked like he had to work a bit harder for this one!
Awesome runner - amazing fluid running style!
