Usain Bolt lost to Tyson Gay

Who cares? Is it that big of a deal. Lets put it into perspective. Usain bolt won the 100m, 200m and 4x100m at the Olympics, all in record time. His personal best in the 100m is sub 9.6x seconds while Tyson's best time in that said event is a wind aided 9.6 something. Tyson beat Bolt into a clear second position showing him a clean pair of heels - yes, much credit to him. But, Bolt was far from his best running a pedestrian 9.9x seconds. Congrats Tyson, i think you deserve, clean or not clean. You have proven yourself to be a worthy adversary, a good competitor and a gentleman of the sport. But, lets not get it twisted people. 9.59seconds and 19.19seconds puts Bolt as the class of the field and until Tyson or any other athlete gets a little bit closer to that (or even breaks those record) or defeats Usain on the world stage, Bolt remains the BIG MAN ON CAMPUS.

(Less nuh lingering next season..)
