BEIJING — And the winner is — Usain "Lightning" Bolt!
It took nearly as long to type the previous sentence as it did for the Jamaican speedster to win gold in the Beijing Olympics men's 100-meter final and earn the title of the World's Fastest Man in the process.
He crossed the finish line in 9.69 seconds, a world record, at National Stadium on Saturday night. Bolt broke his own record of 9.72, which was set on June 1 in New York.
