Usain Bolt, Wins 200m ! Third Time Is Charm!

Usain Bolt won the 200 meters in style. If you watch the replay, he went out hard. He wanted a fast time, and he was aiming for it. His body was just not there. But, his win was fantastic, with Andre De Grasse of Canada continuing his fine running and Christophe LeMaitre showing why he is the most dangerous finisher over 200 meters. Here is how I called the race, nealry live. Listen to the cheering and sounds of the Engenhao Stadium. It was magnifiscent and it was a fitting tribute to one of the finest sprinters in our sports history!
