Oh
In a nutshell (and very crudely), not only did the slave trade create a 'survival of the fittest' environment between west Africa and the West Indies/Americas, but also slaves were drawn from all over Africa, so you were getting a 'double-dip' on the gene pool.
I hope the WR is broken tonight.
These games makers must be loving this.
Haha Thanks! Who needs Michael Johnson and an hour's long documentary eh?
Hope we see a WR tonight...
come on. I am predicting Blake and Bolt both breaking the olympic record and Bolt breaking his own WR.
So cocky. Can't help but like him.
Bolt the showmanOmg omg!
Beast
lol jogged over the line AGAIN
Jamaica clean sweep - nice.

How easy was that?!
Bolt imperious.
He was relaxed towards the end as well. Wow!
Bolt backed off!
thought Bolt was getting beat , FFS he is fast but it looked like he slowed down at the end
Jamaica 123.
Brilliant. Just brilliant.
Of course, bolt!
Jamaican rules the sprint. Gold, silver, bronze.
Did Bolt slow down at the end?

Cool runnings man.
And press ups at the end
Did seem to ease off a bit.
He's just out of this fecking world.
Insanely fast.

Magnificent from Bolt,true Olympic legend.
Thought he was gonna slow down too much and Blake overtake him
Definitely. He could have broke the Olympic Record.
Jamaican clean sweep. As if their ego's needed boosting any further.
Usain Bolt, though. Undisputed legend!

That finish
He knew he had it won, but also knew he wasn't gonna break a world record so decided to take the piss over the line.
This guy is insane.
This guy is insane.
If this Olympics is Usain Bolt when he's not ready. God help us.
What a race that was. At one point i thought Blake might just take him over, but then Bolt just got faster. He's so cocky, if he didn't take it easy in the end, he could have broken the record. He's just awesome
He really is amazing. You just run out of words to describe him.
In optimum conditions, he could smash the WR... the Olympics is just a night to reign supreme, but I think he might well do it at a meeting in the next year or two.
He is ridiculously cool and he knows it too. Love how he plays up to the cameras and another great gold for him too.
he trolled yohan blake at the expense of smashing his own WR! what a legend
Could have had an Olympic record if he wanted. Not sure why he eased up.
He already has it.
Great guy.
Bolt is amazing. Sign him up.
With the camera
Great stuff tonight from Rudisha and Bolt
