Usain Bolt Smashes World Record

I watched open mouthed as Usain Bolt knocked ONE TENTH of a second off the 100 metres world record at the World Athletics Championships in Berlin! This is the biggest drop in the 100 m world record since electronic timing was introduced in 1977. And to think that he could go even faster in the future - phenomenal!
