Just amazing. :eek:

[DaHeezy]

My guy called it! (See OP). He says he was feelin it for about a month. He trains sprinter for university.

Crazy!

[CasterL]

what did bolt run

[qrich]

what did bolt run

9.58

Gay ran a 9.71 I think.

[bisk]

Are you blind...:rolleyes:

[i seen hippos]

Gay ran the third fastest time ever and got raped still. lol

[lefthook00]

Daaaaaammmnnnn homie.

You can't f*ck with Bolt after like 40 yards, he is like 4 inches taller than everyone else and 2/3 of his body is his legs, he just gazelles it to the finish line.

[DaHeezy]

what did bolt run


You're not serious, are you?

[pete's montreux]

He actually ran to the last inch for once, and destroys his own record. Imagine if he had been running all out in previous races.

[WhiteMosɘs]

Goddam, there better be a youtube video really soon.

[Fallguy20]

wow... just wow

[lefthook00]

He ran all the way through but it STILL didn't look like he was running his hardest.

[CasterL]

You're not serious, are you?


thought it was gay that ran 9.5 by what people were saying.

[Miller Time]

unbelievable.... :applause:

[HighFlyer23]

I know ... atleast his shoe laces were tied this time :lol

Not hard to call. If you watched the heats, you would have sensed that Bolt was planning something big.

It's a shame that Chambers fell so far down. He looked good in previous heats and he's over come a lot just to get back in to sprinting, to reach the finals for him was huge. Too bad he couldn't repeat what he done 10 years ago.

Gotta feel for Gay aswell. The guy works so hard and puts so much effort in and he will never be able to beat Bolt. He just ran a personal best, a new American record, .71 and he wasn't even in the race, no one was. Bolt is just too good.

It's not as if he took .01 or .02 off of the record, he took .11 off the record, that's damn impressive.

It was a fantastic race all together (best I've ever seen, by f*cking miles), I mean, there's guys there who ran 10 seconds flat, and didn't even finish in the top 5.

[Kebab Stall]

He actually ran to the last inch for once, and destroys his own record. Imagine if he had been running all out in previous races.
Even compared to his 200m race last year in Beijing, he wasn't running flat out in this race. In that 200m he wanted the record and he was way a head of everyone and still leaned forward at the finish.

If he ran flat out in the 100m, he could get down to .50 possibly even lower.

[pete's montreux]

It's kind of cruel if you think about it. He's the fastest man ever, and he knows it. He's playing with the competition. Seems like he has a plan to break the world record every chance he gets. He's slowly solidifying his legend.

It's also smart. He's keeping his name in the media.

He's not solidifying it, he IS legend. These accomplishments are so dominating, the only athlete to compare is Tiger, and I would say Bolt has way more command over his competition.

It's kinda irritating to see that he's basically still running as fast as before his suspension..

Not really, considering he is 31. I may be mistaken here, but he was most likely the oldest guy on the track at 31 years old and he still ran 10 seconds flat.

[DaHeezy]

BTW, this is one year to the date Bolt won the Oly's.

[GOBB]

I wasnt shocked/surprised by this. Just like his next feat i wont be. Pull an Ocho and just change your first name to Insane.

[LuppersGB]

Its a good half hour after the event and I still feel speachless. I was thinking he'd run 9.65 tops (over here on british BBC michael johnson was like - there aint no way he's beating his rcord). Me and my sis were sat there just stunned when the time flashed up.
Then my mum ruined it by asking "who's usain bolt?" retard.

[i seen hippos]

Thanks for the rep, but calling me a pretentious prick for saying Gay got raped is a little whimpy.

Your mom is not a retard for not knowing who Bolt is. Bolt has yet to establish himself in such a way.

I wonder why this wasn't locked by youtube but Oly footage wasn't pulled immediately. Anyways, great find.

He's definitely getting there though. Charismatic guy, even beat out Phelps for Male Athlete of the Year and made appearances on late night talk shows, ESPN, etc. Apparently he loves to dance, maybe Dancing with the Stars is in his future. I guess that'll be when he gets the mom demographic.

[GOBB]

Tiger is going for his 15th major. 3 away from Jack. Really no athlete is on Tiger's level today. But that isnt a diss to Bolt.

[DaHeezy]

Well it's not like Bolt is a big advertising icon, so this statement is not far from the truth. Bolt is not heavy in the mainstream media as apparent to the fact even on here there was not hype machine behind this event. My mom doesn't know bolt, but she knows other mainstream athletes though a different media channels.

Did you see Johnson's response? When they had the camera in the booth? Jackson and Denise Lewis were shouting and cheering Bolt on and Johnson just couldn't believe it. Dude looked absolutely awe struck.

Hhhhmmm. Winning the title "Fastest Man Alive" title at any Olympics, let alone the BEIJING OLYMPICS which were absolutely huge, typically gets noticed. And in the fashion he did? His win was all over the papers/news/internets. He. Got. Noticed.

Right because moms across the globe sit in front of the tube to watch the fastest man on Earth? You do realize the reason certain athletes are known either in thier country or across the globe is MARKETING right? Thats why athletes sign endorsement deals dipshyt. For anyone to act like ones mom is a retard or slightly a retard because a JAMAICAN runner set a world record? Then you my friend are the actual retard. I guess because it says "world record" and world is the key word in your small mind? She should known?

The day Bolt starts getting advertised and marketed to every demographic is when your mom SHOULD know who he is. Until then? The casual sports fan should have an idea. What next? His mom is a retard for not knowing who Fedor is? Because she should know who is considered the baddest mofo on the planet right? Well? USE your brain and you'll look LESS of an idiot kid.

[GOBB]

I hope and pray Bolt isnt cheating and nothing comes out down the road. Last month I believe 5 Jamaicans got busted for roids. Not saying he is. Dude is clean to me and doing it legit. But in todays sports everyone seems to look for an "edge". Just hope he isnt.

[run&gun]

Yup.

[craigthomasb]

that was one of his best races but i still think he can go quicker again, he still looked to be easing off over the last 10-15 meters, he will break the world record again

[vapid]

Bolt is probably not even on the top 15 most famous athletes list atm.

[supersmashbros]

Bolt is about to do it again
Will it forever be a black dominated event? I think so. Black ppl are just so much better than everyone else at anaerobic events like sprinting. However, I also doubt there will ever be a black Michael Phelps because the physic that gives them the edge in running and jumping is a problematic in swimming.

I understand endorsements, so shut your mouth....but think about it...It's. The. F ucking. Olympics. People watch the Olympics. People talk about the Olympics. People read about the Olympics (women are still allowed to read the paper, right?). The Olympics are everywhere. I wasn't talking about "world record" old fu ckface (hey, I can call you names based on age too!). He won in an exciting fashion, he won gold (which is a big deal and gets a little more recognition than say...last) and he won at the Olympics. Understood?

He's the fastest man on earth and most ppl in Canada and States heard of him. It's not like he's a hermit in the middle of Siberia. He's a very well known, and possibly rich man.

Are you sure it was roids? I thought it was just a low level substance and that they got as much as a slap on the wrist, but then again, I wasn't too interested, as long as Powell and Bolt weren't involved, then I'm not too bothered.

Also, anyone else notice how much more relaxed Powell has been? Last year at the olympics he was incredibly tense and shown almost no signs of enjoyment. This year though, he's been joking around and looking very calm.

[sunsfan1357]

No it didn't start with me. And I was speaking in general terms not this particular case.

[Rameek]

I can appreciate how fast this man is and him domming the 100 being the worlds fastest man is lovely... I just dont see him as dominating as what Tiger has/is doing... On my best day outdoor track wind aided I clocked 10.59 so believe me I know what it means to run a 9.58

If he was a multiple event guy in my mind I can see it... Not saying I am right or wrong but TIGER is GOLF..... When I think of dominant I can say without hesitation Carl Lewis was Dominant...

But Bolt is a multiple event guy. He currently holds world record times in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m. There's always been talks of him doing the 400m, but whether he actually does get around to doing that is another thing.

As far as sprinting goes, all Bolt can do now is just keep shaving his times down, because there's no one to rival him. The 400m is a speed endurance event and is not just sprinting, making it a different animal from the standard 100m and 200m.

[Brunch@Five]

This was impressive

[dwight20-20]

If Bolt does the 400 i'll be excited.

[miller-time]

Every sprinter is on roids. So, it isn't chaating. The biggest roidhead in the 80's was Carl Lewis. Yet, Johnson was the one who was crucified. If BOLT was American he would be viewed as a GOD.

[hateraid]

Now Tyson Gay is saying he went into this event with a pulled groin. I'm sorry but that's a typical act from American athletes to have a back-up excuse.
Hey Tyson, you wouldn't have won anyways. 9 point faulkin 58.

He was coming off of an injury, skipped a warm up meet to rest up for it and said it felt a little sore after one of the preliminary heats. It's not to say it affected the race though because he obvsiouly would've lost anyway.

[brantonli]

Wow, I remember seeing an article that tried to predict how fast Bolt would've gone if he went full out in the Olympics, and it predicted just under 9.60s !

[thejumpa]

Bolt is breaking records and winning everything too fast to be considered on the same level as Woods. Seriously, after you go 9.58 in the 100m, what more can you do? Let's just say he does 9.4 some day....which is possible (I'm thinking 9.46-9.50ish), what more can you do? A human being can only get so fast. It's not like we are going to see any 9.3's or anything.

The same goes for every other record. At some point, it has to level out and he won't keep breaking records. By the time he is 25, there won't be anything left to do...

Makes me want to run the 100 though.....Bolt is ****ing quick

Well there's still the 200. He can work on lowering his record in that. There's also talk that he will start competing in the 400. That's another record that nobody's coming close to beating since Johnson ran it.

True....but listen to what you just said. He needs to work on lowering his record. When it get's a point when you dominate so much and physically shouldn't be (unless he's doing it dirty), then you know you are something special. If he lowers the 200 and breaks the 400....then what's next to do? he will be 25 with every record lol...and most likely have done it with room to spare.

It's not like he's just going to stop running when that happens. There's still the Olympics and World Championships. If he keeps racking up medals the way he is, dominating the way he is, then his status among athletes will only go up. Even Phelps is still swimming after setting so many records and winning 8 Golds.

True...

If all goes well and he isn't doing anything stupid, he's gonna go down as the best (and fastest) to ever do it. He is young, fast, and dominates anything he enters. Another thing people have forgot to mention about him is that he has been freakishly fast since he was 11-12 years old. He was breaking records back then.

For now, Bolt is that *****. period.

[WhiteMosɘs]

Yes, but Tiger Woods has almost 12 years of golf history behind him to cement his fame, 12 years to establish himself and get his face and name in all the media. Bolt, I grant you, he became famous alright, but as famous as Woods? I highly doubt it.

My argument had nothing to do with Tiger Woods. I wasn't involved in that argument. Maybe read the whole thread next time.

[Erudus]

:roll: :roll: reading some of the stuff gobb says makes me laugh at loud

he is surprised someone doesntk now who usain bolt is ? easily if someone doesnt watch the olympics last year then his name isnt all over like some other famous athletes

Hey Tyson, you wouldn't have won anyways. 9 point faulkin 58.
Tyson was saying this all along. You could see something was bothering him in his start, in every heat. In the first couple of races he was getting piss poor starts. In the semi's he got a pathetic start and lost about 2 metres on Powell and still managed to win the race. He didn't have that explosion coming out of the blocks, he was easing into it more, rather than exploding out.

What astounds me, is that Gay still ran faster than any american ever at .71 and was still nowhere to be seen in the race. Bolt just destroyed everyone.

[Brunch@Five]

Gay just ran the 3rd fastest 100m ever. He deserves to get props for this. Bolt is just better.

[thejumpa]

Yeah...gotta give Gay credit. He really did have a groin injury and you could tell. Still, he ran a 9.71 which is extremely ****ing fast..just not fast enough. Bolt was just faster......than everybody.

Bolt is a beast...simple and plain. I'm willing to bet he breaks his own record and then breaks the 400. Straight Tiger Woods domination.....

[brantonli]

My argument had nothing to do with Tiger Woods. I wasn't involved in that argument. Maybe read the whole thread next time.

Lol I did, I must've messed up and confused some posts for others. My mistake.

[DCL]

this is just f--king insane. you don't smash the 100m world record by that much of a wide ass gap time difference. historically, it's only gone down .01 or .02 each time. if it's 0.03, it's ridiculous.

but he's lowering them by monster leaps. and this isn't swimming like there's some brand new torpedo suit every year or whatever. shoe technology has not changed. dude is just a friggin mutant. 9.58 :bowdown:

he's so awesome i can't believe he's not on some serious doping sh!t.

Look at the distance between the last two points compared to the rest of the records on the plot. Wow.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men's_100_metres_world_record_progression

exactly, man. just beyond friggin ridiculous?!?! it's like everyone is learning how to fly airplanes, and this guy is already on a spaceship.

between 1970-2000, the times went down relatively slow. they were somewhat reasonable. most probably even thought our max speed had peaked as humans. then this jamaican dude came along and shattered all common sense in track and field sprints.

[plowking]

I just read a dated article saying 9.6 is the human limit... So much for that. Now they are predicting 9.44 to be the ultimate record of human capacity.

I wonder what they'll say when Bolt finds a way to break that aswell.

[DCL]

well, the dude's technique fell off near the end. he looked like he was coasting. coasting to a frigging 9-five something?!? i don't think he's done yet.

but seriously, we live in an era where taking enhancement substances are so normal and common. i'm not hating or anything, and it's supposed to be an exciting thing, but he's just so friggin off the charts literally you just have to wonder if he has access to some super insane sh!t that cannot be detected yet.

[plowking]

Well his diet is supposedly built mainly off chicken nuggets. So that must be the secret.

I honestly hope someone runs under 9 seconds in my lifetime. I don't care if it's with performance enhancing drugs or not, I just want to see someone move that quick.


BTW, imagine if Bolt learned how to dribble a basketball. Imagine him in the open court, and even with a defender on him, you'd know he'd back himself with his first step.

[DCL]

i think he'd travel every time because his feet would be faster than a dribble. :oldlol:

[Pharcyde]

Now Tyson Gay is saying he went into this event with a pulled groin. I'm sorry but that's a typical act from American athletes to have a back-up excuse.


You do realize that he did right?

[liljohnnywall]

I thought the human limit was 9.6 and there was no way you could go under mathematically and applying the laws of modern day physics. These damn scientist are all crooks

[supersmashbros]

I thought the human limit was 9.6 and there was no way you could go under mathematically and applying the laws of modern day physics. These damn scientist are all crooks
So I am guessing we are approaching that limit.

[Kebab Stall]

So I am guessing we are approaching that limit.
Well, considering Bolt ran .58, I think that limit has been passed.

[liljohnnywall]

Well, considering Bolt ran .58, I think that limit has been passed.
the best part is he was coasting again. What did he run the olympics. I think bolt can ran even faster than that if he was on the biggest stage in the world the olympics with all the adrenaline running and stuff. He would also have to go all out like he did in the 200m

[Kebab Stall]

He ran .69 in the Olympics and just ran a .58, so he's shaved .11 off of his time and he was coasting a bit again, but nowhere near what he was doing in the Olympics. If he ran like he did in the 200m at the Olmypics, he would definitly get his time down much further. Possibly even going below .5, which is just insane.

[hateraid]

You do realize that he did right?

Well if you're injured, pull out. 9.71 suggest he was fully recovered. Again, excuses.

[Vragrant]

Well if you're injured, pull out. 9.71 suggest he was fully recovered. Again, excuses.

Agree, he runs the fastest American time ever (and one of the fastest 100m ever), and claims hes injured. He was fine, even if it was a factor it wasnt bothering him THAT much.

[LuppersGB]

WOW calling my mum a retard set a right old argument off lol. that was truely astounding. anyhoo, in many ways i am equally astounded that gay ran 9.71 i thought only bolt had that kind of speed

[Kebab Stall]

Well if you're injured, pull out. 9.71 suggest he was fully recovered. Again, excuses.
Gay would have never pulled out of that race. There was no way, after what happened last year in the Olympics, that he was not going to compete.

[Kebab Stall]

Just heard on BBC, that Gay might pull out of the 200m due to the groin problem. Dwain Chambers is also pulling out of the 200m due to calf strain - that's a shame, because I really wanted to watch him.

[mbell75]

wonder what kind of performance enhancing drugs this guy is on. If you think thats natural ability, you are retarded.

After about 70 meters you are going full speed and you can pretty much coast to the end without losing speed. Meaning, you still have to run hard but just enough to maintain your speed. Thats what they say anyways.

After about 70 meters you are going full speed and you can pretty much coast to the end without losing speed. Meaning, you still have to run hard but just enough to maintain your speed. Thats what they say anyways.

he did lose speed at the end though. they actually did a computer breakdown analysis of how fast he was going at each point, and his last 20m were a bit slower. he wasn't pumping his cylinders as much towards the end. it's not like a car where the wheels carry the momentum. in a foot race, you need to keep on pumping and hitting it with power. but once you relax a little bit, the velocity immediately slows down. he wasn't at full speed at the end at all. the computers show it, and even the naked eye should be able to notice it since he was so freaking fast at midpoint and 3/4 point.

Gay might not be competing in the 200m due to his groin injury.

Seriously? Damn...I don't know if Bolt will get another record then without anyone pushing him.:rant

[Kebab Stall]

Seriously? Damn...I don't know if Bolt will get another record then without anyone pushing him.:rant
It's not definite yet and I haven't heard any developments, but there were comments being thrown around earlier today. Maybe because they are no developments, he is competing, but I don't know.

Also, Bolt doesn't care about competition. He just runs for himself. There's no one that can seriously push him. Gay's the closest and even when he's at his best, he cannot beat Bolt.

[mbell75]

You think athletes in pro sports have all the sudden just become better in the last few decades by magic? :oldlol: If anything, they are more flawed than athletes in previous eras because of the quality of food these days, the air is much more polluted as well as the water.

There is not alot of skill to lining up and running. Its not like baseball where you can improve your hand/eye coordination or improve your shot in basketball. You are either fast and can run or you are not. This guy is actually getting faster in a very short amount of time and if you dont think its with the aid of performance enhancing drugs, you are an idiot.

[WhiteMosɘs]

Please post internet links tomorrow for the races, if you find any.

Btw, when was the last time a non-black person set the 100 meter record?

[Maniak]

mbell, are you serious when you say there is no skill to lining up and running?

Is that a joke?

You can become more fast and atheltic and push yourself to being better. It has nothing to do with it being in your genes, although that sometimes can slightly help.

Then again, what would a 400 pound monstrosity of a Laker fan know about athleticism, aside from the in/out procedure of ****ing your Kobe doll.

Sure. Give him the right performance enhancing drugs and watch him go! If we were talking milliseconds off a time, thats one thing. To go from 9.69 to 9.58 in less than a year? Thats a full second difference and I am sorry, thats not humanly possible unless you are juicing.

Why would anyone think its a shock anyways? Marion Jones, the supposed fastest woman in the world just got busted for performance enhancers not long ago. You think the fastest man isnt on them either? Pretty stupid.

Come on, Bolt was breaking records as a teenager. He was running sub 20 second 200 when he was 16!! He's just a freak. He started racing in the 100 less than 2 years ago, so obviously he`s going to improve very quickly.

A full second = 0.11 seconds:oldlol:

And you do realize he shut it down with at least 10 meters to go when he hit 9.69 right. He would've got a similar time to 9.58 if he ran hard the whole race so he didn't really get 0.11 seconds faster.:hammerhead:

[mbell75]

Nope. I am saying in a sport where ALOT of the participants are juicing, are you really expecting the best of the bunch to be clean? Who here thought Marion Jones was on performance enhances? Probably no one, but she was and I will bet you my nuts this guy is too. Are you that much of a track and field fanboy? :lol

[plowking]

Yeah that's the one...

The guy is 22 years old, and a ridiculous 6'5. I'd say he's the tallest sprinter ever to compete. He just seems to be like the Lebron James of track and field. Someone who at his size, you don't expect to have all the skills, then it becomes clear that maybe this is the perfect size for those skills to come together.
I mean, his long strides are what give him his ridiculous advantage, and its never really been seen in the sport.

Not only does he have a huge stride, but if you watch his races in super slow motion, you can see he still has the same foot speed as the smaller guys. The only one has faster foot speed is Tyson Gay.

Man....you have a point but don't sit here and act like you KNOW Bolt is on PED's. It's like those people who knew all along that MJ was going to die within 3 months and he just happened to die 3 months later. It's obvious you think anybody who puts up stupid fast times or does anything crazy is on steroids...

Could he be on PED's? sure.....anyone could. Up until now, he has passed every drug test and has been dominating and getting faster and faster since he was 12. There is such thing as good genetics ya know...

Until he tests positive....he will be the 22 year who is about to break the 400m record and then proceed to break his own records. 6'5 195....extremely lean and extremely fast.

[hateraid]

WOW calling my mum a retard set a right old argument off lol. that was truely astounding. anyhoo, in many ways i am equally astounded that gay ran 9.71 i thought only bolt had that kind of speed


I actually was talking about it at work today and the two girls who worked with me never heard of the guy. These are legitemate sports fans too.

[supersmashbros]

I know. Better much every athlete in that event or similar events is on steroids and other performance enhancing drugs. The thing is as long as you aren't caught you can't be proven guilty. Just be careful and your get away with it!

[Kebab Stall]

I guarantee you, Bolt will break this again. I could see him running a 9.5 and not be surprised.

If you watch the replays, he still kind of let up the last step or two when he looked back. If he didn't look back and know he would win, and went 100%, he'd shave off even more time.

The guy's a monster.
The guys's acceleration is insane and unlike others, he can keep accelerating for much longer than other sprinters. If you watch the race, he didn't slow down, he just stopped accelerating, he didn't lose any speed. If he ran like he did in last year's Olympic 200m final where he was still gaining speed even at the end of the race, then he could put up the most ridiculous 100m we may ever see.

Come to think of it, it's challenge to think of superlatives for this guy, because the ones we already have, just aren't good enough.

[LJJ]

It seems like all I'm hearing is: "He slowed down at the end", "He will easily beat this record".

He just ran 9:58!!!!!

[plowking]

Did anyone just see Bolt run the 200m? It's only heats at the moment though.

He jogged, literally, we all say he looks like he's jogging in his races, but he seriously just f*cking waltzed round the track and got 20.7.

He did look a bit tired though, didn't look too fresh.

I looked at his PB for the 400 and its in the 45's. I'd say Johnson's record is safe in this circumstance.

Not this year. He might do in a couple of years. The 400m is speed endurance and is a completely different animal to the 100m which is just pure sprinting. Once he's had enough of the 100m, he might move on to the 400m.

[Quata]

mbell you are retarded, human genetics are continuing to evolve and become stronger/faster/taller, like every generation on average is getting a few cms taller or some ****, its the same with athletics, genetics continue to improve so people will continue to run faster.

[Brunch@Five]

that guy who said there is no skill involved in sprinting, or track/field in general is obviously an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about.
You can always improve your technique.

And some guys are simply "mutants", incredible physical specimen. I don't see anyone running around accusing LeBron James of PEDs, and he's just as much a monster as Usain Bolt.

I thought the false start would slow everyone up by making them a tad slower off the blocks but man Bolt just dominated from beginning to end.

Bolt was the one who actually tried to jump the gun aswell. Although lane 2 was officially said to have done the false start. But Bolt blatantly was trying to jump it aswell.

I think I could beat him in a race. I couldnt help myself. Sorry

[phoenix18]

Yeah, probably with a baseball bat :oldlol:
I never said a foot race. HAHA.

[Reef]

Can't wait to see him start running the 400. I read he ran a 45 second 400 on a grass track!

Thats b/c he's a lot faster than what likes to put on. He wants to destroy the record every time he races. The next time he does this it will be like 19.10 or something. He's still holding back.

Agree ... he did try this time but wasn't huffing and puffing like the other runners ...

[Kebab Stall]

I don't know if anyone seen Bolt run the 150m in Manchester a couple of months ago, but he done a flying 100m of about 8.7 seconds. Not only that, but the track was absolutely soaked.

I know. I've never seen him run flat out in 100m and I think it will be some time before we do see him do that.

In that 200m he just ran though, he was clearly fatigued. He just had an interview with the BBC track side team and he was saying how it was such a poor race for him, because he was so tired and that he was losing form - which is true. His shoulders were rocking back and forth he had to really dig down and you could see the effort on his face. Imagine if he had been completely fresh for that race. He could probably get down to 19 seconds or so.

[Kebab Stall]

Yeah I saw that!

I can't believe he just smashed this again! When is he running the 400?

On a side note he's probably my favorite athlete right now... So impressive and cocky, I love it.
Nothing definitive has come out about him running the 400m yet, but I'm sure he'll be doing to soon.

I doubt he'll be running the 100m, 200m and 400m at one major event thought. Maybe once he gets bored of the 100m he'll move to the 400m.

[Kebab Stall]

Oh okay. The way people were talking I was thinking he might be doing it at this event.

I'm pretty sure he'll do it at some point though. I mean, why not? If I was him I'd race in anything I could smash a record in.
He didn't enter the heats for this year and the final is tomorrow.

There's no way he enters for all three events at one major event (Olympics or World Championships), because it would be far too much. You have to go through 3 rounds before you get to the final. That would be 12 races in total for Bolt. That is far too much, especially over the course of only 1-2 weeks.

Ya he's not doing it right now, but he said he wants to start competing in it in 2010.

You can't tell for sure if he would be as effective on the 400m. One of the big reasons he is so quick is because he extremely explosive for someone his size. He takes as many steps as his opponents even though his legs are a lot longer. (He does 2.2m per step I believe) That advantage is less important if the distance isl arger.

[HighFlyer23]

I hope he eventually does run in the 400m ... just to see the damage he can do .. and this is the first time I've seen a white guy in a sprint :lol

While endurance does play a major role in the long sprints, the mere fact that he has run 19.19 for the 200 shows his potential to obliterate (yes break 43) the 400m WR. It's really up to him whether he has the dedication training-wise to move up. I certainly believe that his large stride would be just as much of a factor in a 400--he is still sprinting.

That's because on a longer race he wouldn't have the gas to last so long, so ppl with smaller strides but more endurance will eventually catch up and may even pass him.

Relays just started.

[Kebab Stall]

It's a shame that Bolt isn't taking part in the relays, but GB qualified, so I'm happy.

He's not taking part in the opening heats only I think.

[Kebab Stall]

Yeah, I wasn't sure about that. I heard the announcers say that he wasn't competing, but they said nothing about whether it would just be this particular heat or the entire event. But, since it's his birthday, I guess it'd be just this heat.

[sunsfan1357]

I was kinda pissed that I missed the 400m final between Merritt and Wariner. Seems like Merritt has Wariner's number now, though Wariner did say he wasn't in race shape as his training was hindered by an injury.

And yes Jamaica in 4 X 100 via domination.

[Kebab Stall]

Whoo! Team GB got a bronze in the relay, yeah!

Jamaica were also impressive, too bad they didn't get the WR. Bolt could have gotten yet another, 3 golds and 3 world records.
