⇒ mens 100m sprint
watched Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell line up for the mens 100m sprint gold medal race.
Bolt is very relaxed, posing, a bit of showboating and generally not showing too much concern. Powell is very reserved, possibly feeling some pressure to perform.
10 seconds later: the race is over! ZOMGWTFBBQ?!?!? Bolt destroyed the field! He outran the entire field in just 60m and carried on at to take gold in 9.69s! A new world record--and he watched himself do it!
More showboating, posing, boogie-ing and good times...Only this time, I'm with the dude, he earned it! Seriously, the most impressive 100m win I've ever seen--and it wasn't his full capacity, either!
[update] this is yahoo's footnote about Bolt:
Bolt hasn’t reached his prime, he’s routing people in what he considers his second-best event, and he practically jogged to the finish to win the biggest race in the most prestigious track meet of all
