Some not so random thoughts on the race today.
Givens:
1. Obviously the greatest 100 ever run
2. Also the greatest sprint performance.
3. Also makes Bolt the undisputed 100 GOAT.
4. Also makes Bolt the undisputed Sprint GOAT.
Hypotheses:
1. Was that the greatest T&F performance ever? The 100 tests the most basic athletic skill since the dawn of time - who can run the fastest?
2. Was that the greatest athletic feat ever? (See above)
3. Does that make Bolt the greatest T&F athlete ever and similarly, the greatest athlete ever?
4. Did Bolt just out-Beamon Beamon and set a record that will last 30 years? 40 years? More? I just can't wrap my brain around the number 9.58. That IS how good Bolt really is, no fluke, but could he ever do it again? Even with 2.0 wind.
a. Does that make Tyson Gay the second best 'all of the above'?
I can't help but think we just witnessed a performance for the ages. Maybe it's just the excitement of the moment. What think ye?
