As if Bolt's masterful domination of the "fastest men in the world" field weren't enough, Trinidadian Richard Thompson, who made an impressive showing earlier this year at the NCAA Championships, winning gold in both the 100m and 60m (indoor) events, pulled off an upset and came in second. 
Kana kwamba utawala wa kimahiri wa Bolt kwenye medani ya "binadamu mwenye mbio kuliko wote" haukutosha, Mtrinidadi Richard Thompson ambayeye alionyesha mvuto mwanzoni mwa mwaka katika mashindano ya NCAA, aliposhinda dhahabu kwenye mita 100 na mita 60 (kwenye viwanja vya ndani) alichukua ushindi wa kushangaza kwa kuchukua nafasi ya pili.
