On Usain Bolt

We haven't seen much of the Olympics (because we have poor television reception) and I'm partial to such feats (because I participated in Track & Field) but I think the story of the games, even more than Michael Phleps, has to be Usain Bolt. The Steves at Freakonomics capture the amazement of his accomplishments and recommend (as do I) this graphical representation of the statisitical significance of his second feat--the 200m WR.
