I'm curious when Bolt shut it down in the heat and the type of effort he exerted.
Speaking of Michael Johnson and an earlier mention of Donovan Bailey, I was crushed when Johnson {cough} pulled up {cough} w/ a bad hammy in that 150m race after the 1996 Olympics. I bought into all the hype of Johnson being the World's Fastest, but Bailey surprised me (and Johnson too). I decided not to sleep on Bailey anymore.

I'm not a good judge of distance but Bolt deff pulled up and cruised last night in the 200m. That along with how fast the track is in Beijing, makes me think that Johnson's record will be broken. Watch out for Walter Dix though, he looked strong also.
