Whenever a sprinter wins so easily you automatically suspect doping. But when you look at Bolt, you don't see that over muscular physique that the dopers have.
Bolt looks completely different from every other sprinter. He looks like an NBA power forward. If he had been born in the USA, would he be playing basketball instead of running track?
You're totally right! He just doesn't have that short distance sprinter look. He looks more like he should be running 400 or 800m or more actually, playing CB or WR in football. I think he'd be wasted playing basketball. You just don't need that type of flat out speed. For some reason I doubt he's doping and maybe it's just what you said, that he doesn't have the bulky look.
He was born to run ... ugh, I can't believe I just wrote that cliche. With his body and height, he should be running the 400 & maybe the 800 (that race has turned into a sprint, which amazes me). I'd love to see him run a 400. Is he in any relays? I'd put him in the second or 3rd position in the 4x1 or 4x4 ... can you imagine the lead he would open up for the anchor?
When is the 200 going to be on tv? When my 8 year old sees him, she says "oh there's that jogger again".
I don't think Usain Bolt is cocky as stated in the first statement, I just think he is young and exuberant -- he always seems to be laughing and joking with someone.

He's cocky. I didn't mean that as a bad thing. He's just a very confident young man and his results can back up that cockiness.
It will be interesting to see how other nations will try and find athletes to challenge Bolt. Bolt has proved that you can run a 100m and 200m as a tall athlete so I wonder if others will follow.
My God!!! His Dad says Usain is speedy because of the yams he ate while growing up ... SEND ME SOME PAPA BOLT!!!! I have 3 kids, I can start them early
He's built like a wide receiver. Put some pads on 'im!
Can't wait to see him in the 4x1.
Happy Birthday mon!
