Usain Bolt - 100m & 200m World Records - Athletics - Beijing Olympic Games 2008

Lightning has struck twice in Beijing! Usain Bolt set world records in both the 100m and 200m track events. He broke his own 100m world record from earlier this year with an empressive show that left many guessing why he pulled up to celebrate 20 meters before the finish line. His answer was that he didn't care about the world record, but only winning the gold. Still, everyone wonders how fast the time could have been. Four days later, Bolt broke Michael Johnson's 200m world record from the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Bolt became only the third runner to win both events, and the first to break the world record in both sprints at an Olympics.
