Asafa Powell is my personal favourite, but I have to give credit where it's due. Usain Bolt is without doubt the best sprinter in the world, and he has fast become the best to ever participate in the sport. At the Olympics, he ran 9.69 after slowing down to celebrate.... Here, he ran 9.58 running INTO the wind, after his customary slow start! I can't wait to see the day when he reaches his peak.
I've followed Bolt from his CARIFTA days, and it was no surprise to see him achieve these inexplicable speeds after he ironed out his technique for the highest level. He started out as a 200 and 400 meters runner, but has now evolved into a 100 meter dash sprinter who in my opinion, is still stronger at the aforementioned disciplines. Unless Bolt suffers injury or presses a self destruct button on his career *cough* steroids *cough*, none of these current sprinters will be able to rub shoulders with him (literally).
