SPORTO: Usain Bolts At Penn Relays

PHILLY.COM: At 1:40 p.m. Saturday, the single-day record crowd of 54,310 at the 116th Penn Relays at Franklin Field – many clad in yellow, green and black – began to roar. It was the type of moment that will live on as another chapter in the storied history of the Carnival. And to think Jamaican superstar sprinter Usain Bolt was merely just beginning to warm up. His “USA vs. the World” 4 x 100-meter relay race wasn’t going to start for another hour. As Miki Barber, a member of the victorious USA Blue 4 x 100 women’s team put it: “It was so loud, I thought, ‘Is the president here? [Michael] Jordan?’ ” So loud, in fact, that the start of a high school race had to be delayed. It was the type of reception certainly fit for the commander-in-chief or His Airness. But for the fastest man in the world’ Well, he’s still getting accustomed to it. MORE
