Lightning BOLT !!.......and his blaze of glory.


Still reeling under the effects of Phelps mania,his historic gold rush, the world has found another hero in the Jamaican bullet, Usain Bolt.

He simply decimated the field in the race for the fastest human at Beijing Olympic 08. Last 50 meters of the famous straight dash, saw him donning the garb of a flying God.

The sports aficionado's haven't stopped raving about his blaze of glory. Some of them are already calling his twin wins as the best sporting moments of the Olympic history.

Running the way he did, as a man possessed in the 100 meters, shattering the world record, and then coming back and repeating the amazing run to claim the 200 meters in another World record time. Wow! what can you say?................Superman in action!!

He has done it !!!.........and my head is still spinning


History was made at 8.28 am IST, 17/08/08. The Pool Shark has done it. And thank God, like fortunate millions all over the world, I saw it happening, history being made, an extraordinary sportsman accomplishing an extraordinary feat..... Or is it a giant leap, that will stand for a long long time to come.


8 golds with 7 new world record timings, 14 career gold medals.............IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING, for this man, Phelps. What he has accomplished is really a super human effort. There's been a lot of talk about his physical prowess, but I strongly believe, having exceptional talent alone isn't just good enough, surely it isn't the only attribute for rewriting history books.It is also about what goes inside the mind. Phelps performance is of God like proportions. His name will go down in the annals of Swimming history as the greatest of all time and his golden patch at Beijing will become a case study for all the young and budding swimmers around the world.
