BEIJING – He ran, greeted and danced. Everything was an artist USAIN Bolt, who only missed the troubadour who will be announcing to the world that on Saturday became the fastest man on earth and with new world record.

After leaving as a missile and nearly reaching the target with good light ahead of his escort Richard Thompson, the Jamaican lifted his head and tried everything that repertoire in the second day of athletics in the Olympic Games, where the Ecuadorian Jefferson Perez took silver in the march of 20 miles.

If it had not begun to celebrate victory in advance, even with pasitos dance and beat his chest in centimeters of the bay, who knows where it had fallen to its plusmarca of 9.69 seconds, three hundredths less than the previous record set on 31 May in New York.

It even gave the luxury of watching the public turning his head toward the right, while an unusually mild breeze seemed to force him to run without contemplating the landscape.

“It was not planned,” said Bolt on his unusual celebration. “My goal was to win. When I saw the time, I began to celebrate. I was very happy.”

The Trinidadian Thompson stayed with the silver medal with 9.89 and American Walter Dix with the bronze with 9.91.

“Nobody is going to achieve,” said the Jamaican sprinter Michael Frater on record Bolt.

His fellow Jamaican Asafa Powell, considered before the race as the main rival Bolt, came fifth with 9.95. The American Tyson Gay, double world champion (100 and 200) and one of the major candidates, not classified to the final.

“This is devastating,” said Gay, who will not compete in the 200 because he hurt during the tests targeted U.S. and could not qualify.

As mitigating his abrupt removal, said that pull in the selective tests affected the preparation of Gay. “I was delayed three or four weeks,” he said.

Instead Bolt, 21, left no doubt about who deserves the title of “fastest man on earth”.

The specialty of Bolt was 200 metres, which is the big favorite to win next week and what could be the first man to achieve this dupleta since Carl Lewis in 1988.

Besides the failure by Gay, was also striking the fifth place of Powell, until recently the owner of the plusmarca and that is opaque in the relevant competitions.

“Usaina was spectacular,” said Powell. “Definitely was untouchable. It could have come much faster having run in a straight line.”

The day was opened shortly after sunrise with Russian Valeriy Borchin catching gold on the progress of 20 kilometres by 14 seconds after beating the Ecuadorian Perez.

Borchin won with a time of 1 hour, 10 minutes and 1 second, chased by Perez on arrival at the goal in the Nest of Birds.

Perez,  announced that Beijing was his last Olympics, gave Ecuador in 1996 its first and only gold medal at Olympics.

With her silver, Ecuadorian 34 years back to an Olympic podium since Sydney 2000 and Athens in 2004 stayed away from the distribution of medals.

“It was my second medal. Thank God for the opportunity to have been in five Olympics and close as my career,” said the Ecuadorian to say goodbye to the hikes.

The bronze medal went to Australian Jared tallent.

The gold in launching the bullet went to the New Zealander Valerie Vili, current world champion with a throw of 20.56 meters.

Overtaken by 28 centimeters to the Belarussian Natalia Mikhnevich, who won the silver medal with 20.28. The Belarussian Nadzeya Ostapchuk also pocketed the bronze.

For its part, the Ukrainian Natalia Dobrynska won the gold in the Heptathlon and Lydumila Blonska took the silver.

Dobrynska had 145 points ahead of the American Hyleas Fountain and 151 on Blonska upon entering the last discipline, the 800 meters, thanks to its good performance in the javelin.

Dobrynska joined 6,733 points, 6,700 and Blonska Fountain took the bronze with 6,619.

In playoffs, the Panamanian Irving Saladino advanced to the finals of the long jump, a specialty that is the monarch world.

“I have to adjust the steps because the track is very fast,” said Saladin after classified ninth, with a jump of 8.01.

The first four were the Greek Tsatolimas Louis (8.27), the Cuban Ibrahim Camejo, the Briton Greg Rutherford (8.16) and the South African Khotso Mokoena (8.14).
