Dale N. predicted Bolt's world record

Dale N., the Augusta photographer who shot Usain Bolt's first world record in the 100 meters has correctly predicted the record again.

As we reported last week in "Shooting Speedsters", Dale N. of iTal iMages was so certain that Bolt would break the record in New York City in May that he upped the price of his photos before that meet. And Bolt ran the record time of 9.72.

Dale N. then predicted that Bolt would win the 100 meters at the Olympics. Bolt did.

And on Tuesday, Dale N. came into the Metro Spirit to predict that today, Bolt would break the world record in the 200 meters. That world record, set by Michael Johnson, was thought to be nearly unbreakable.

But Dale N. was right. Bolt mowed down the record with a sensational run.

Dale N. may have his biases. He is a native of Jamaica. But all I can say is it's too bad someone didn't hire him to photograph the Olympics, as Dale N. did at other top meets this year. He seems to know how when a great performance is coming.
