Usain Bolt | 100m final | New World Record | 9.69 | Full race
In the 100m final at the Beijing Olympics, Usain Bolt beat his own world-record with a 9.69 second time.
Bolt even started his celebration 20 meters before the finish. He looked left and right to gauge his lead, which was sizable. Then he extended his arms to the side, the kind of gesture usually seen only after sprinters cross the line.
