My Hourglass

Just when I thought the unbreakable record of 400m freestyle by Ian Thorpe was broken by Paul Biedermann of Germany, another happened today.

Paul Biedermann got lucky with his high tech swim suit, which left with a lot of questions and criticisms, but the one I saw was no fluke, no high tech stuff, it was pure awesomeness.

Usain Bolt of Jamica, lowering his own world record 100-meter mark to 9.58 seconds from the 9.69 he ran in winning the Olympics.

In the world of sprints, where lowering 0.01 second is an achievement, Bolt lowered by more than 0.1 second.

Just when will this end?
