Usain Bolt, both literally and figuratively, bolted with with two world records at the Beijing Olympic Game - a 9.69 sec for 100 meter on August 16 and 19.3 for 200 meter yesterday, on August 20.
This is what I call a double-double victory if Carl Lewis's victory in the same two events at the 1984 Los Angeles game is called a double victory
Judging from Bolt's world record breaking 100 meter run, it won't be long for him to set another new world record in this track event.
The sports has been tarnished by doping scandals especially after the infamous Ben Johnson's saga at the 1988 Seoul Olympic.
It is therefore most remarkable that Usain Bolt's whose sensational victories are apparently clean. Bolt cleared 4 doping test in the last one month.
It maybe early but not wrong to predict that the world at large will remember Beijing Olympic fondly of Usain Bolt's prowess in the track, in additional to Michael's Phelp's 8 golds in the swimming event and the overall China's dominance in the medal tally.
