Lightning Bolt electrifies Berlin

They say that lightning doesn't strike the same place twice. But the human lightning from Jamaica proved once again that there is such a thing as it can strike whenever and wherever, at the right place and at the right time.

Olympic champion Usain Bolt electrified the crowd as he bolted like a lightning right from the starting block, run the rest of the course unchallenged, obliterated the field and shattered his own world record with a stunning time of 9.58 seconds in the century dash at the 2009 World Athletic Championship in Berlin.

Bolt lowered the world record by an unprecedented .11 seconds (from the 9.69 mark that he set at the Beijing Olympics) in a dazzling show of force and speed in the track. He is simply untouchable and in a league of his own at the moment. Yet, I believe that the best is yet to come.

American Tyson Gay and fellow Jamaican Asafa Powell finished a 'distant' second and third respectively.
