Just before he stepped into the blocks, Usain Bolt made a sign of intent. A single swoop of the arm, mimicking a bird or a plane. Or superman. Bolt, the 22-year-old world record breaker, last night rocked the globe once more, lowering his own record by a massive 0.11 of a second. All that talk of a slow track, dismissed in just 9.58 seconds; you had to rub your eyes to believe it. Beating his chest as he crossed the line, this time there was no showboating, only seriously fast sprinting from the Jamaican star.

In Berlin's Olympic Stadium the crowd roared at the spectacle they had just witnessed. Beijing was special – three Olympic gold medals and three world records – but to again break the world record in the sport's most feted distance, this was something truly spectacular.
