Palaver

Listen to this post by Yahoo! Sports: “Jamaica’s Yohan Blake finished second at 9.75. America’s Justin Gatlin was third at 9.79. Neither Blake nor Gatlin ever ran faster than they did Sunday. This was the second- and third-fastest men on Earth running as well as they ever have. And neither stood a legitimate chance against the Lightning Bolt. “I went out to challenge a mountain,” Gatlin said later. “To challenge the odds.” And fellow American Tyson Gay, who finished fourth at 9.80 wept and wept at the realisation he wasn’t even close, saying: “I tried, man. I tried my best.” But like the true champ and The most exciting athlete in all of track and field, Bolt shrugs it off with “Stop worrying about the start, the best part of the race is the end.” Well said chap. Well said.
