C. Useful Ways of Making Miracles Happen D. Short Cuts to Making Miracles Happen E Move over Michael Phelps, the Beijing Olympics has another superstar. Usain Bolt came into the Olympic history books last night, becoming the first man to break world records while winning both 100 m and 200m races at a single Games. The Jamaican broke the world record by winning the 200m in 19.30sec, becoming also the first man sweeping the 100 m and 200 m gold medals at an Olympics after American Carl Lewis did so in 1984. Bolt, who turns 22 today, got the top spot closely after his win in the men’s 100 m on Saturday. He bettered his own world record in that race by winning in 9.69sec, despite slowing down over the final 20 m . The performance marked him as one of the breakthrough stars of these Summer Games. One is sure that Bolt and Phelps, the US swimmer who won a record eight gold medals in the pool, will be in leading positions in the top athletes list. Yesterday Bolt showed what he could do when he run at full speed all the way, dashing for the finish line to break the old record of 19.32sec set by American Michael Johnson at the 1996 Atlanta Games. “He is Superman 2,” Johnson said after he saw his record fall. All too far behind the Jamaican, Churandy Martina of the Netherlands Antilles took silver in 19.82sec. Defending champion Shawn Crawford of the US got bronze at 19.96sec. Once he saw his new record, Bolt fell to the track, his giant legs and arms pointing out. “I am No. 1, I am No. 1!” the world’s fastest man declared to TV audiences as he beat his chest and blew kisses at the 91,000 crowd in the Bird’s Nest, before continuing with his victory lap. 72.
