Usain Bolt Wins 100 meters!

So, here is my play by play, well, kind of, for the 100 meters in Rio. I wanted you to hear the sounds of the crowd, the sounds of silence, before the start of the world’s greatest 100 meter race. Usain Bolt, while behind for the first 50 meters, gets those long legs unfurled and flies down the track, having his third title won by 80 meters, and time to celebrate. Justin Gatlin takes the silver and Andre De Grasse, the new Canadian start, takes the bronze! Enjoy the race!
