Usain Bolt is now the fastest man on Earth. The 21 year-old Jamaican dusted the field at the Reebox Grand Prix in 9.72 seconds. [Usain Bolt, World Record Holder 100 meters]: "I got out well. I've been working on my start for a while and I think I did pretty well today in my start so, I did pretty well so I'm just happy with myself, my transition was good, my last run was beautiful, so I'm happy with my performance today." Now Bolt is eyeing Olympic gold. [Usain Bolt, World Record Holder 100metres]: "I don't think there's any comparison between those two. You got to be Olympic Champion or World Champion or something to really count because if tomorrow somebody comes and runs faster than me I'm no longer the fastest man in the world so if you're Olympic champion then they got to wait four more years to get you again, so I think the Olympics is the biggest thing so I'm just looking for that, definitely." Normally a 200 meter specialist, Bolt was challenged by his coach to work on the shorter distance to improve his speed. Now, after nearly 70 years, polo returns to New York. Before the kick-off match between Black Watch and Skeeterville, team captains Argentine Nacho Figueras, and American Will Johnston rode horseback through Manhattan. [Nacho Figueras, Captain Black Watch Polo Team]: "Polo was a very big thing in the 30s and the 40s, and I think it was great idea for Veuve Clicquot, and St. Regis, and Asprey and Black Watch to put this match together. I think polo is a sport that has a lot to offer, and what's better than playing polo in New York with the New York skyline, and I think it's a promotion for the sport. " According to the North American Polo League, New York was the birthplace of polo in 1876.
