Tribute to...Usain Bolt

I believe we all love him at WKFTB, but we've just never given him his proper due. Usain Bolt officially solidified it at yesterday's championships in Berlin: he's a beasssstttttt.

Bolt set the world record in the 100m during last summer's Olympics. But he was known more for the fire showboating after than for setting the record. Let's take a looksee. For some reason -- because Olympic footage is guarded like military documents -- I could only find this tape of it with weird ass jungle music:



Of course, one of the reasons why I love Bolt is because of the showboating. I love that he pimps it for the cameras after (and sometimes during) the race. He's developed his own variation of the Hulk Hogan point and flex stance.

Everyone wondered after how fast the aptly named Bolt could have gone if he didn't swing his arms out and chest thump during the last 10 meters. Scientists even did simulations, and came up with a number of 9.56. Turns out it was 9.58.

Running right next to American and chief rival Tyson Gay, Bolt showed him what the deal was. I like Tyson Gay because he's and American and I want to show him the support and all, but let's be honest, he's nothing compared to Usain. Usain is Insane. He's a beast. Anyone who though Bolt would lose to Gay...you're an idiot.

Look at this (watch at 1:35 for the Hulk Hogan celebration too):



See the :45 second mark to find just where Bolt got his celebration from:



If you like sports, then speed is probably one of your favorite things. It's like the blond hair of the sports world. Sure, you don't need it to be awesome, but it certainly makes people enamoured with you.

Usain Bolt, he's a lil pat on the back from WKFTB.
