Noticed how they are winning the sprints since they replaced the starting pistol with a police siren?

Lightning Bolt wins the Double !!!
Usain Bolt kept driving for the finish line, knowing the race was won but there was something even bigger out there.
Not just another world record, but history itself. Not just an unheard-of blowout, but the chance to be called the greatest sprinter ever. Bolt may have done just that Wednesday night, on his sport's biggest stage.
The Jamaican wunderkind hurtled to his second world record and his second Olympic gold medal, finishing the 200-meter race in 19.30 seconds to break Michael Johnson's 12-year-old mark. In doing so he became the first man ever to break the world record in both the 100 and 200 at the same Olympics and the first since Carl Lewis in 1984 to win the sprint double.
That he did it was one thing -- how he did it was even more memorable: He crossed the line about four body lengths ahead of anyone else.
The race for the other medals turned out to be much more of a competition -- one that took far longer than 19 seconds to decide. Churandy MARTINA of Netherlands Antilles finished second behind Bolt -- hardly in the same frame -- and American Wallace Spearmon came in third.
But while Spearmon was still celebrating on the track he learned he had been disqualified for running outside his lane, and two hours later track officials accepted a U.S. protest that Martina did the same.
That gave American Shawn Crawford the silver -- "It feels like a charity case," he said -- and teammate Walter Dix bronze. (Official results)
The final stat sheet showed Bolt an incredible 0.66 seconds ahead of Crawford.
Officially, it will go down as the largest margin of victory in an Olympic 200.
And then there are the world records.
The last man to hold both simultaneously was none other than Donald Quarrie, the 1970s Jamaican star whom Bolt said he always wanted to pattern his running after
