Usain Bolt of Jamaica set a world record in the men’s 100m, clocking 9.72 seconds at the Reebok Grand Prix meeting at Icahn Stadium in New York on Saturday (May 31).
Bolt bettered the mark of 9.74s set by countryman Asafa Powell last September.
I could still remember the days when people said that breaking the 9.80s barrier was impossible without drugs… but now it seems like 9.6x secs is something achievable.
Congrats Bolt, good job, and a fitting name.
