Surprisingly garnering little attention from the media, Usain Bolt was beaten in a track event earlier this month, his first defeat in two years. The Jamaican, owner of world records in both the 100 and 200 meter sprints and reigning Olympic Gold Medalist in both events, turned in the second slowest final time (9.97 seconds) of his career, finishing .13 seconds behind American Tyson Gay. The upset occurred during a Samsung Diamond League event in Stockholm, the same venue where Bolt suffered his previous defeat in 2008. While both runners acknowledged that the Jamaican was not at 100%, it is certainly notable when a world record holder is defeated. More interesting than the NFL preseason? Without a doubt.
