"Usain Bolt celebrated his coronation as the world’s fastest man 20 meters early, throwing out his arms and thumping his chest. But he still obliterated the world record in the 100 meters Saturday night, turning his Olympic gold medal performance into a show of astounding talent." - Bret Taylor via Bookmarklet

I haven't seen the final yet, but during the heat before, it looked like he was jogging, yet he was ahead of everyone. It is like he is holding back so he can break his own record later. Bolt is insanely fast. - Bret Taylor

I just wished he'd race it right to the end and got a *really* time - Kol Tregaskes via twhirl

He's got to think about his career. If he peaks too early it's going to hurt him financially. - Adewale Oshineye

Is there a video posted for the race yet? Can't find one on NBC's site. - DeWitt Clinton

Crappy quality, but nonetheless: http://www.elitefeet.com/usain... - Ashwin Bharambe

@Ashwin -- thanks! That was unbelievable. - DeWitt Clinton

Richard Lawler posted this video he found on photobucket (better quality than elitefeet, looks like a video of a TV screen) http://s517.photobucket.com/al... on this thread http://friendfeed.com/e/69d5ad... - Mitchell Tsai

Adewale - you're right. Either his sponsor or some race director will pay him well to set the record again this year. - Hutch Carpenter

I agree with Bret, Adewale, & Hutch. Much better to break the record as many times as possible. Plus, it gives him more personality! Yesterday I was watching his 9.92 and it didn't even look like he was breaking hard...it was so easy. - Mitchell Tsai

Ugh, photobucket has the worst flash media player ever. - Tanath

[High-Quality Video 3 min 44 sec] Pre-race, race, slow-motion, freeze-frame-camera on French TV [Daily Motion] http://dailymotion.com/search/... Thanks to Rafat Ali at PaidContent.org "Bolt of Lightning Doesn't Fall Anywhere Near NBCOlympics.com" http://paidcontent.org/entry/4... - Mitchell Tsai

What an feat of performance - he just blew away the other "fastest men" in the world. Between Bolt and Phelps, I really have to wonder how much further we can peak in human performance... - Vince DeGeorge

seriously @vince...he obliterated the field! - .LAGizmoto

Only 3 people have legally run under 9.8: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W... - Nick Lothian

I wonder if he can challenge MIchael Johnson's "Beamon-esque" 19.32 200m record. It sure seems like it. - Jeremy Raines

Also -- you know, we're not promised tomorrow. It seems like a true champion would want to set the record as low as possible on a fast track & grand stage, regardless of future incentives. - Jeremy Raines

@Nick. It's 4 people: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1.... Tyson Gay ran a 9.77s. - Nikhil Dandekar

@Mitchell Thanks! - torque

now that everyone's seen it in HD. - that guy just pushed everyone else who ever sprinted off the table. - Richard Lawler via twhirl

Just watched the French video of this. He looked like he coasted to a 9.69. wow. - Harvey Simmons

I hate it when they don't push hard till the very end.. He could easily have run much faster, but instead had to start celebrating at the 90m mark. It was such a big race as well. I would have been more impressed if he ran it all the way in 9.60-9.65 than 9.69 or whatever it was officially at the end. - Colin Archer

@Nikhil - thanks - Nick Lothian

he just doesn't care about the time, honestly, in ten years when the time has been broken, I think we'll all remember the watching him shut it down at 70m and start celebrating - Richard Lawler via twhirl

That was insane. Never seen a 100m run so fast and err .. so casually - Deepak

It just goes to show you that hard work and perseverance pays off. You guys really did it the right way. Hopefully I won't have to get a damn PS3 to see the show. ;) - Sean-Michael Robinson

That is quite an accomplishment Andrew. Its inspirational to here your struggles and successes over the last few years. 7 figures is nothing to balk - Chris Conway

at in this economy. Now I suppose you can affoard a 6 fugure idea man on your team. hahaj.k. - Chris Conway

Thanks for the detailed post on this Andrew, and especially for outlining how you explored options with traditional entertainment co's and hired CAA as reps... Those are avenues I've considered with an entertainment news property I'm developing (nothing like Rocketboom) and it's encouraging to see that strategy pay off. It's also pretty awesome to see someone benefit from the hard work and creative drive connected to a passion for a project rather than an industry. Congrats and best wishes for the future! - Stacy Bond

Congrats Andrew, you were a pioneer long before anyone else. Looking forward to seeing what else you do with Rocketboom. - Robert Scoble

Congratulations, Andrew! - You've totally earned it. - Julie Perry

Kudos Andrew. Does this mean Rocketboom will include rootkits now? :P Make the most of it! - Mark Forman

I think on the web, it's full of sound and fury - signifying nothing...Calacanis is partially right when he says "blogging is dead"...I think MACRO-blogging is dead as we know it and is pretty much mainstream and corporate...but micro-blogging is VERY MUCH alive and transforming...Friend Feed is part of that metamorphosis from the basics of twitter/jaiku... - Live4Soccer
