Bang by Seamus

Day one at the world track championships was a great start to our two day adventure. Our seats were right where they interviewed all of the athletes from the different countries. As athletes from the USA went by the media center we went insane waving our American flags. We were easily noticed by many of the USA track and field athletes and they when they saw us they would do a wave, a fist pump or a ‘thumbs up” motion as acknowledgement of our “fan support”. Hey it’s nice to see American fans in Berlin! I thought it was going to be hard to top Day 1, but we did.
BANG! They were off then again BANG, false start it was the Frenchman! Two more jumps by the woman’s high jump, then they were back at the line again for another start of the 200 meters. When they started I could have sworn I heard a whistle as they went by our seats. Everyone was one on their feet cheering to see if this marvelous event was going to happen right in front of our very own eyes. The waiting was intense and everyone fell silent. When the official number came up on the jumbotron. A roar from the crowd and a huge cheer from the full stadium… Usain Bolt beat the two hundred meter race record and took the gold because he ran 19.19 seconds to cross a finish line.
