World Record Sprint from Usain 'Lightning' Bolt

Jamaica's Usain Bolt ran to another world record Sunday, winning the 100-meter race in 9.58 seconds at the world championships.

Bolt shaved .11 seconds off the record he set at the Beijing Olympics, beating defending champion Tyson Gay, who set a US record of 9.71 seconds.

That kind of run is a staggering effort considering the runners are on the track for less than ten seconds. Not only that, he was daylight ahead of the second place athlete, making the win all the more impressive.
