Bolt won't be getting any great sportsman awards any time soon, thats for sure. He pulled up so he could start chest thumping before he even crossed the finish line, probably costing himself another 0.08-0.1 seconds worth of world record. Phelps got gold in the butterfly solely because he put in the last gasp effort. Radcliffe finished 23rd and should have turned left into the nearest hospital but instead staggered her way to the finish line.
I'd predict a promising careeer as an NFL corner back if Bolt weren't the size of Tinkerbell.

As impressive as Bolt's victory was...the fact that he pulled up and started chest thumping kind of ruined the whole thing for me.
