Usain "Lightning" Bolt.
From Jamaica, men's 100m dash final. He won, smashing the world record by .03s, which is a lot.
He was two or three steps ahead of everyone else in the field, which is unheard of.
He /slowed down/ after 80m when he saw his rival wasn't there fighting with him, which is bizarre and unheard of.
He made what is always a closely contested and hard-fought race look like a walk in the park.
And he did it all with one shoe untied.
