Lightening BOLT!
Did you see it? You must have been watching. When I wrote the post below earlier I knew there was a good chance that Usain Bolt was going to go home with the gold. Watching him float down the track, thirty metres from the finish line when he realised he was out in front by a mile, he just cruised home. No one could catch him though Richard Thompson did give him a run in the middle.
As for Richard, you go boy! We know everyone is suddenly going to take credit for your achievement, but boy, you really did it. It’s been thirty two years since Montreal and Hasely Crawford but I’m pretty sure Crawfie, sitting up in the stands had the hugest smile on his face, genuinely pleased to see another Caribbean boy on the podium.
[…] Kudos kept pouring in – from Grenada, Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago. […]
