he started celebrating before he hit the finish line, what a retard
When asked about his celebration before the finish line, which may have cost him some time, Bolt said he was concerned about winning more than running the fastest possible.
"Better to break it smaller than bigger, I would say," he said. "[Then] you have a next time to break it."
"I never knew I was going to run so fast," said the 6ft 5in star. "I didn't come here to break the world record - because I am the world-record holder."
& even Michael Johnson (who'll likely lose his 200m WR to Bolt) said:
"the greatest 100m performance in the history of the event".
Johnson, a multiple Olympic champion who still holds the 200m and 400m world records, told BBC Sport: "He shut down with 10m to go. We have never seen anything like it before.
"It's absolutely amazing. Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay cannot run with him. He is a show unto himself."

Bolt will hold the 100m and 200m WR until some kid who's now 10 years old becomes the next big thing.
