Quite simply put - This kid is from another planet.

Usain Bolt ran 20.5 as a 15 year-old for the 200metres and they said that it was his destiny to win Gold at the Olympic Games. Now a day short of his 22nd birthday the Jamaican is a double Olympic Gold medallist and holds both the 100 and 200metres World Record.

Michael Johnson's 19.32 was a time that I thought would not be beaten in my lifetime. At home in Atlanta Johnson blew away the field to totally obliterate the old 19.66 World Record in a time that pundits thought was unachievable. Just twelve years later and on the other side of the Globe that time itself was beaten.

Bolt had cruised to victory in his lesser event of 100metres at the weekend and seemed to even be slowing down as he celebrated well before he crossed the line. His time was 9.69 which was the second fastest time in history and was a World Record (Tyson Gay had run a wind assisted 9.68 earlier in the season).

Everyone knew he was going to blast to glory in the 200metres final but the only question in most people's mind was whether he could break Johnson's record. The American himself is a BBC Pundit and didn't think that he could do it – but boy he was wrong.

19.32 was rounded down to 19.30 and the record was broken. Johnson was happy that such a great athlete had taken his record but was keen to keep his 400metre record. Bolt went for his lap of honour and will now go down as one of the greats and he's only 22 years of age.

Just where can he go from here? The answer is even faster, a lot faster...
