Tonight I am hoping to keep my children awake for long enough to watch Usain Bolt running the 200m. The fastest man in the world, they call him. I missed our own Caster’s race last night which won her a gold medal for the 800m (I was watching District 9). That hasn’t stopped me from getting swept up in the excitement about our very own golden girl.
I’ve been dreaming up front page stories about love across the pond between our fastest girl runner and the fastest man in the world. It’s unlikely to happen as Caster apparently doesn’t like boys. I do believe she’s a girl. But a girl who might not necessarily like boys. (Slate published a story today responding to “whispers and innuendos about her masculine body shape and facial features” on gender testing.)

Watch her run!
