Has anyone got a good link to a video or a download to the final of the 200m final?

Watched the 200M final last night and Bolt is absolutely phenomenal. Blew the field away and broke another WR running into a headwind!

As someone's said above, he's not get the physique or attitude to suggest he's juicing but the question will be asked just because of how comfortably he's done the near impossible: blown the fields away in both the 100 and 200--clear daylight between him and the silver medalist in each--and broken world records in both...one at a canter by the end. As I've said, though, I want to believe he's clean and will do so until proven otherwise. I also like all the smiling and joking he does. Someone's called him cocky but all sprinters are (have to be, even) and it beats the usual snarling and posturing we see from these pace merchants.

Oh, and he gives a great interview. A Canadian interviewer asked him what he thought of people criticizing him for easing up in the 100M final and his response was that everybody celebrates when they know they've won and, at the Olympics, it's about winning gold not breaking WRs. Maybe, but I think he was also keeping something in the tank for the 200 so that he could go flat out and have a shot at Michael Johnson's vaunted record. Johnson's been talking a lot of trash about Bolt's ability to beat the record and I'm think the young lad just decided to show everyone just how superior he is. :nod
