“It’s Called Lactic Acid Build Up”: Twitter Reacts to Track Legend Usain Bolt’s 200m World Record’s 13th Anniversary

Bolt became a dominant force in sporting history with his lighting bolt speed in every race he performed. 

Remarkable 13-year-old world record of Usain Bolt

The Twitter handle of World Athletic, shared the video of Bolt with the caption, “The 19.19 On this day in 2009, @usainbolt set an unforgettable world record in the men’s 200m! 13 years later, it still stands.” Seeing the tweet, the Jamaican sprinter’s fan poured their love into the comment section. 

Recalling the wonderful time when Bolt decreased his speed on the track, a fan wrote, “Dude slowed down at the end and still smashed it.” Pointing this, another fan wrote, “Both his 100m and 200m world records could be faster too. Instead, he slowed up before the tape on both of them.”

Meanwhile, a fan came to the rescue and stated, “He was not slowing down. It’s called lactic acid build up. He was going as hard as he can. This was a final, not a semifinal or prelim.” One user showed his immense love for the sprinter, “I said it at the time, and I will die with a smile on my face if it’s true. His records will still stands until the day I die.” This fan showed how Usain’s achievements are flattering after 13 years of the world record.

One user described how the possibility of breaking Bolt’s world record is low, “If this record falls it’s going to be in a one off Diamond league race as no one currently is capable of running three rounds and still producing a time like this. Still will be the greatest performance in this event until the record’s broken at World’s or Olympics.”
