No grand-standing, no loss of focus, no chest slapping, no slowing down before the finish line this time.
Just a new world record set by a Jamaican athlete who has run his way into history.
Usain Bolt set records and won gold medals in both the men's 100m and 200m events at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Blessed 22nd EarthStrong, Idren Usain! You have won the heart of every Jamaican around the world.

At 21 years of age, Usain Bolt won a gold medal for Jamaica in the men's 100m at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Setting a record and making Jamaicans around the world shout with national pride, he made it look so easy.
Thank you, Jah, for the hope that a striving youth can bring to our struggling nation.
