The Man In Gold

On their marks the runners got Waiting for the starter's gun And when they hear the starting shot With all their might they run The man in blue soon takes the lead as with speed he rounds the bend he quickly passes the man in red and tries to keep his leading trend But like a flash, the man in gold With lengthy strides his speed unfolds The man in blue he leaves behind As he cruises to the finish line The crowd erupts as with a jolt! Cheering on a man called Bolt

I know nothing about olympics. Is Bolt a recent guy out there? this was a cool entry in the contest.

They say when he is in full stride, his stride length is 8 feet. I love to watch him run and I love his brash nature. I enjoyed this fun read, Joseph.
