Michael Johnson enjoys a good Usain Bolt sprint
Published 8/19/2008 by Pat Imig at Fourth-Place Medal

Then again, it doesn't take a genius to recognize such when a world record in the 100M transpires right before your very eyes. Even so, the following video via Fan IQ is pretty cool. Johnson was hanging with the BBC crew during Usain Bolt's rush to history and displayed his love of sport in much the same way viewers of NBC witnessed Bela Karolyi cheer on the American ...
