There's something special about the 100m. Even for those who don't watch athletics, it's one of those contests that seems to transcend sport.

In Ten Second Showdown, Mike Costello has been exploring the stories that lie behind the races.

This time, he takes us to Beijing and a man who did the 100m unlike anyone else. The 2008 Olympics was when Usain Bolt became a global superstar, showboating over the line as she smashed his own world record.

Mike speaks to Bolt's agent about what makes him tick, a photographer who captured the iconic photo of Bolt crossing the line - and hears what it's like to race against the great Jamaican.
