On May 31, 2008, a storm started to brew over a New York City track stadium, a storm that would take over the athletic world. That's when Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt jumped off the blocks in the men's 100-meter race and into the consciousness of thousands who saw his performance on ESPN and YouTube as he broke the world record with a time of 9.72 seconds.

Bolt would then train for the Beijing Olympics, where he did pretty well, to say the least. He would compete in the 100, 200, and 4X100 races, winning a gold medal and setting a world record in all three.

Other than swimming sensation Michael Phelps, Bolt was arguably the biggest winner of the Beijing Olympics. He was not only the world's fastest man, running the 100 in just 9.69 seconds, but he set his record with flair, able to celebrate the win 20 meters before it ended, letting his arms hang behind him and looking around the packed stadium that had just witnessed his greatness:

This past week, at the IAAF World Championships in Berlin, lightning struck a third time for the Jamaican native as he not only won the 100 and 200 again but brought his own world records in both events down by .11 seconds each. Simply amazing.

There seems to be nothing in the sprinting world this man is not capable of. Running times that are almost impossible even in video games, the reigning winner of the Laureus World Sports Award for Sportsman of the Year (pretty much the MVP out of every single sport) cannot be stopped and is on his way to clinching the honor again.

When you watch the 200 final of the Berlin IAAF Championships, you can see just how dominant Bolt really is. No one comes close as he finishes the race in 19.19 seconds:

To put Bolt's speed in perspective, the fastest car in the world (and also one of the most beautiful), the Barabus TKR, gets a top speed of 270 mph. Usain Bolt has been clocked at around 27 mph at top speed. You do the math and we get 10 Bolts equal to the fastest man-made vehicle on four wheels.

Simply said, no one has or maybe ever will be as fast as Usain Bolt. He is a freak-of-nature type of storm.

But maybe Usain is still mortal. After smoking the field in the 200 at Berlin, he told a reporter simply, "I'm tired."
