Lightning Thunder Bolt creates shockwaves: Usain Bolt smashes 100 metres field and world record in Beijing Olympics final. Imagine if he had really tried. Pounding his chest, turning up the palms of his outstretched arms, mugging for the cameras before he even crossed the finish line, Usain Bolt rewrote the record books again and captured his first Olympic medal Saturday, toying with the field and running the 100-meter dash in a stunning 9.69 seconds. His left shoe was untied when he crossed the finish line. Not that it mattered much. He could've walked across.
