Rojo's Roundup: Track and Field World Championships, Day 2

BERLIN - AUGUST 16: Usain Bolt of Jamaica crosses the line to win the gold medal in the men's 100 Metres Final during day two of the 12th IAAF World Athletics Championships at the Olympic Stadium on August 16, 2009 in Berlin, Germany. Bolt set a new World Record of 9.58. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)

What a pity.

On a day when British sensation Jessica Ennis achieved a season-best 6,731 points to win gold in the heptathlon...

...and Valerie Vili from tiny New Zealand captured gold in the women's shot put...

...and sprinter Tyson Gay ran the third fastest time in the history of the men's 100 meters, setting a new American record in the blistering time of 9.71...

...most of the world will only remember the lightning bolt that struck Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

Simply enjoy this wrap-up of Usain Bolt's incredible day by Bleacher Report's own Alex Dimond.

And here's another picturesque viewpoint from our own Sudeshna Banerjee.

The rest of the day's activities can be found here.

Remember...the World Championships continue for seven more days. Follow them on TV (NBC and Versus) or online (Universalsports.com)

Have fun!
