Have the 100m finals been televised? I heard the results earlier on the radio, but only saw the qualifying rounds last night

That was one of the most phenomenal things I've seen in the Olympics thus far. Absolutely unreal.
If only he ran his fastest all the way through so we could really see how fat he can clock in.
Despite what I said about his attitude, yeah, +1. How much faster can these new generations of athletes get? I mean, what's the human limit for the 100m dash? 9.50? 9.45? Everyone was stunned when Bolt got 9.72 a while back.
Oh, and having just watched the NBC primetime coverage of the men's 100m dash (I watched a blurry YouTube video of it this morning), I have to say that Bolt was beyond incredible, but he seems like an arrogant douchebag.
I kind of like athletes who are a little arrogant sometimes, though too much of that gets old really, really fast. But yeah, the most amazing thing to me is that he beat (his) world record while actually decelerating for the last 20m. That's just unreal. What's his ceiling (or should we say floor)?!
This is a joke right? I was probably a douchebag at 21 and I wasn't the fastest man on the planet. The guy is just supremely confident and he has every right to be. He is a young carefree guy just having fun but I suppose people will find fault with anyone successful.
Not to sound like I'm up his ass, but Phelps won, what, six golds at the age of 19? Younger than Bolt, and he didn't bang his chest and strike cocky poses repeatedly for the cameras. I'm a young guy myself. It isn't about age; it's about maturity.
I understand what you're saying, and confidence is certainly a necessary ingredient to that kind of success, but I'm of the perhaps unpopular opinion that a guy should display some class no matter how gifted he is, especially when he's representing his country before the watching eyes of the entire world. And frankly, I think his country deserves for him to give it his all against the clock, even if everyone else trips on their own shoelaces and he can jog to victory.
