bolt wins 200
bolt won the 200m dash yesterday, the last event of the jamaican champs. so much for having “to run hard to get into shape” for the event . . . bolt let up the last 40 meters of the race, as this video shows. of note: check out ramon mackenzie wearing the batman mask. he did that in April at the boys & girls champs. unfortunately, he finished 4th at the champs so won’t be competing in berlin. (damn - i was so hoping to see batman in berlin!)
now bolt heads to europe where he’ll race several times prior to the world champs. next up athletissima lausanne.
in other news, delilah finished 9th in the steeple on the final day of the US Championships, missing out on a chance to represent the United States for the second time this year (she made the World XC team, finishing 33rd at the Championships in Amaan, Jordan). she’ll also head to europe for a summer of racing.
