In perhaps the best Olympic performance since Michael Phelps swam to eight gold medals the week before, Jamaica's Usain Bolt bolted his way to history in the 100- and 200-meter sprints, setting new world records in each event.

Absolutely burning up the track, Bolt beat former 200-meter world-record holder Michael Johnson's record by turning in a time of 19.30. He is the first man since Carl Lewis of the United States to sweep the two events. (0) comments
