The World's Fastest Man Is Gay
http://www.eitb24.com/new/en/B24_64137/sports/ATHLETICS-The-worlds-fastest-man-is-Gay/

Gay, who won the 100 metres on Sunday, became only the third man to win both the 100 and 200 at a world championships when he outpaced the field to triumph in 19.76 seconds.

Tyson Gay nailed the sprint double on Thursday. Gay, who won the 100 metres on Sunday, became only the third man to win both the 100 and 200 at a world championships when he outpaced the field to triumph in 19.76 seconds.

He joined compatriots Maurice Greene and Justin Gatlin in accomplishing the feat. "What I did here was a lot of strength, hard work and prayer. I did it for my coach and family...it feels great," Gay told reporters.

Gay, whose winning time was a championship record, had trailed Jamaica's Usain Bolt after 100 metres. "It shocked me, I was slightly frightened," he said.

5. Whew!
Dodged a bullet there!

Thought somebody was outing British Colonel Andy Green, the man that holds the World Land Speed Record and one of the few people to break the sound barrier on land!

(footnote - I think they've been breaking the sound barrier on land since Col. Stapp's USAF's rocket sled experiments in the 50's)

6. One of My Uncles Changed His Name to Gay in the 50's
Seeing as it was Polish and difficult to spell, pronounce, etc. for the non-Poles around him.
