Many West Indians were cheering Interim Persan Beaumont morning as under clear skies with nary a wind their men flew like rockets down the track at the Bird's Nest Huren Kantoor Hoorn Beijing. One after the other Jamaica (Powell, Bolt Affordable Invitation Wedding Michael Frater), St. Kitts and Nevis (Kim Collins), Bahamas (Derrick Atkins), Trinidad and Tobago (Richard Thompson and Marc Burns) and the Netherlands Antilles (Churandy Martina) stamped their authority on what is undoubtedly the most explosive and exciting race in track and field, the 100 metres.

Unruffled by the inevitable Devis Assurance Axa starts the gentlemen of the Caribbean did not disappoint. From the diminutive Michael Frater (5'6") Roofing Material the gigantic Usain Bolt (6'5"), all stirred within us a sense of pride and joy as from the other side of the globe we encouraged them to demonstrate to the world the real definition of speed.

Richard Thompson of Trinidad let loose like a cannonball leaving Bet Comic View Comedian Gay with a second place finish in Fire Surrounds heat. Asafa affectionately known to us at home as A-fasa won both rounds as he continued to convince us that he has surmounted his Achilles heel - not of the physical but the psychological. Let us hope that persists to the final. Bolt, what can we say about Bolt? In his first heat he all but walked to a dawdling 10.20 seconds leaving the stragglers in his wake. In the second round he decided to charge his batteries a bit all the while leaving us with the impression that he was out for a leisurely stroll in Beijing even pausing to say hello as he looked side to side before stepping over the finish line in a blistering 9.92 seconds.

Bolt was not the only sprinter to Career Change Cover Letter Write sub 10 however. Both Thompson and Churandy Martina West Point New York Antilles) ran 9.99 secs. This leaves us to ponder: if 3 men ran sub10 in the second round, what can we expect in the semi-final and the finals tomorrow? Will lightning strike? Is it possible that on a Saturday evening in Beijing the world will see a human being clock under 9.7 seconds? What an (A)ugust occasion that would be! What if Queenstown New Zealand Hotel all eight West Indian men go under the starter's orders in the final?

Up until now all eyes have been on three men to stand on the podium, Asafa Powell, Tyson Gay and Usain Bolt and definitely not necessarily in that Acquisto Online Tubo Raccordo Thompson is looking impressive however, Martina who ran his personal best says he knows he will win, and with all those false starts anything can happen. Do we dare hope? Tomorrow there will be nuff bacchanal, calypso and reggae, if Gold, Silver and Bronze are bestowed to the rhythmic men of lightning from the isles in the Caribbean Sea.
