that was just incredible, bolt is legend

bolt is an alien, this is crazy

in before WIND IN HIS BACK bullshit

wow, I forgot this was on today, amazging, I knew he would break it and I reckon there is is a 9.45 to come by the time he's done too.

Also mad props to Tyson gay 9.71.

I'll be at the 2012 olympics in London speccing him and that's when he'll be in his prime I would image. Priolly get bombed but I don't care!

the guy run the semis with bailey around 10:00 and was kidding around and laughing the last 10 meters

i have never seen anything like this.

makes you hate all the dopers in the past, cause you'll never be 100% sure again :(

MJ was godlike

Johnson was my favourite athelete, but looking back, I think Carl Lewis was the greatest.
P.S.
High Quality version.

gonna edit


mj's posture was priceless, the guy was a legend.

i heard a story of a guy trying to rob MJ at an airport, without knowing who he is. so he took the bag and started running away, people were apparently laughing their asses off, MJ caught him in like .3 seconds...

maybe just an urban legend...

me too, I want to see it live for sure, dread to think how much the tickets will be.

LOL just looking back at the video, have a look at the camera men at the end following him, hes in a slow jog and they are sprinting with thier legs 10 to the dozen lol

0.51

they are all doped, but it doesn't really matter because even with all the doping in the world nobody can do what bolt does.

bolt is special

In a way bolt is doped though. What gives him the edge is his height. He's 6.5 feet tall.

Being a top level sprinter ultimately comes down to genetics, and he has that, but he also has the freakish height advantage too.
Which ok is natural, but its still an advanatge no one else seems to have combined with his natural talent allows him to go the extra mile.

PUt it this way, If you got a stop watch and tried your hardest to start and stop it within the time his closest rival time (not in this race) was away from him. You would struggle to do that.

Now imagine how many strides he takes over a 100 meters, and how many LESS he would have to take in comparison to his opponents.

lol

Fast Twitch fibres plus longer legs than anyone else on the field = win.

lol

"He has the turnaround speed of 5'10 runner with the stride of a giant".

That was just on National TV by Maurice Green as they were interviewing former world record holders in the stand at Berlin.

I must admit you do turn being wrong into an art form.

you have no idea what I'm laughing at you pathetic crock of cancer.

Ironic given you look like cancer patient.

There's no subject in which Jamerio isn't an expert. He's in the top 1% of every worthwhile discipline known to humankind.

i wonder how much time from now atheltic records will remain meaningful.. knowing that we're on the brink of a revolution in genetics

will sports ever be the same again?

I just been watching a big thing on him, and basically all the top commentators are saying he's probably going to have to leave the event and move on to the 200 or 400 m, because he is that far ahead of everyone else.

It took decades for runners to chip away hundreths of a second.
And he comes all along and takes off tenths.

baiscally, this guy has broken the rules and its ultimately down to his stride length because they've said its physically impossible to run past a certain speed at a certain height.

Its very rare someone comes along with the ability to to run under 9.8, but for them to compete with bolt, they need to have the stride too and that again reduces the chances even further.

Basically, NO ONE is going to touch this guy for a very long time.

100M sprint will never be the same again and I don't see what they can about it, unless the runners are born with his leg stride and turnaround speed.

Like Schuacher, people will end up hating Bolt because nobody likes to watch a race where you know the result before its stared.

That is why you'll see him focus more on the 200 and 400 after the 2012 olympics.

I was just standing still in front of my tele for a couple of minutes, simply astonished. WTF a human being runs 100m in 9.58. We were alive when this happened! zomg!

yeah. epic shit. :D

I'm glad I watched this live. Don't know how much lower he can push though, looked like he kept full speed untill the finish line this time.

ok he can run fast, who cares?

.

lolz

been there

Thats how high you have to be to find athletics interesting...

Pillhead :/

hehe...gg

Roids.

Sure, they were flaring up massively, this made him run that fast!

I see what you did thur!

:)))

he should be in deception 3

link dead

was it suicide again?

still here brah

Brilliant

not from this planet

bolt > w3sp

lmao@isinbaeva

wtf was that cant believe it

arrogance, i guess. pretty stupid in any case.
btw: how come most of the pole vault girls look pretty ace?

isinbaeva looks really good. that swedish chick was also $$$ dont remember the name. blonde with a pony tail.

the fail must be the result of her coming to the tournament thinking only about a new WR. dunno.

the ass on that russian chick who lost was ACE.

bliksem

go polish girls!

True... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/259...a-man.html

unbelievable run on 200m
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgni48goINM

Crazy. My predictions for the future of usain.

100 m in 9.4x
200 m 18.9x
400 m 42.8

Can't wait for London 2012!

if he works on his stamina I think it's possible that his 200m is less than twice the 100m, because of the lack of starting acceleration for the second half.

my guess is, that it'll stop at 9,5s.

well he's at 9.58/9 now and he's only 22 and not even at his peak.
I reckon he's got at least a tenth to come off that attributing that just to expereince/training and reaching his peak performance.

Which already puts him in the late 40's.

i disagree there, 22 23 is about the right age for the human body to be at it's best, maybe he has till 25 to improve with experience but biologically he will start degrading ever so slightly with it accelerating as he hits 30 years old, obviously diet and training slow this process.

Johnson set long standing world records at 34, the 60 meter sprint was recently broken by a 40 yr old.

25-30 is IMO the peak age of runner. But people like Johnson proved if you're exceptional you can still make a joke of the field well into 30's (I'm not getting into doping cos no one here really knows anything about it). Bolt is probably the most talented runner ever, so god knows what he'll do. He's just in a different league.

At the very least I expect bolt to make a joke of the current 100/200/400 meter world records. Can't wait to see him at 2012 olympics :>

He'll move away from sprinting and do waht he did in the 100 meters to both those distances. So expect a good few years of madness from the guy.

me too, I want to see it live for sure, dread to think how much the tickets will be.

I would be more worried about being bombed :(

But I'm still going.

Dunno about cost, but I can't see it being insane.

I mainly want to see phelps/usain, and soak up the atmosphere ONCE in my life. Its a once in a lifetime opportunity so start saving!

yeah i definitely agree, not only that but u can't fully appreciate the talent till u see it live.

bolt is imba

damn, i missed it live.

love him.

... The guy has more juice in him than the Kool Aid Man. He might as well have bionic legs.

i believe he gets bonuses every time he breaks the WR, is this why he is always holding back slightly towards the end of his runs?

no

yes

possibly

I don't care enough to answer.

Cannot be answered

it depends...

?? if he gets bonuses then he wouldn't hold back would he, he'd break it as often as possible. Unless, hes that arrogant that he wants to save the world record for london lol in the hope of attracting big sponsors im pretty sure he will have already.

yeah he would want to break it as often as possible. so he would want to be a little slower to make it easier to break.

cos hes getting a bonus each and everytime, its practically impossible to make yourself go 1 hundredth of a second slower, deliberately don't be silly.

I don't understand what you're talking about.

what is it with all the holding back? stupid media hype

he's done it twice. once last year because he was that far ahead and once this year for the 200, again because he far ahead

he's already admitted to running absolutely flat out to make the new 100

qualifiers don't count

5 or more years back I thought no one could break the USA domination in this field, way to prove me wrong!

all it takes is some freak of nature that finds its own unique way at whatever really, there will always be improvements in anything.

I'm assuming by "unique way" you mean "performance enhancing supplements" :)

How's that medicine taste?

it seems jamaica throws all their money into sprinting. what else do they have? Actually the announcers were talking about how much money that country throws into it.

He's probably doping anyways. All the past doping made me a cynic (or a realist) I guess, but i do believe he is probably doping. He is too far ahead of all the others to not raise high suspicion

I saw an interview with cyclist from giro di italia, he got caught doping. He said (quoting this from memory) "I've been tested probably 200 times, where 2 tests have been positive although i was doping on all those cases. . I've done doping, and then got tested 20 minutes later, and the test showed that I was clean".

on the other hand, his constitution is not typical for a sprinter, he's not 1,60m, he's pretty tall and has much longer legs than those guys, that's why i think its possible.

Yeah, I realise he is a special case, and so far there is no way to be completely sure. But the chance that he is doping is quite high for me.

Nevertheless he's brought alot of attention to sprinting I think, and make it exciting and less macho-man than it was.
They all look more relaxed now that he is there :)

I actually think he's clean..

he is doping, or getting the same effects.

'doping' isn't ilegal, it's _how_ you dope.

chances are he's doing it illegal, every elite athlete on that level does.

I'm referring to illegal substances.

I wouldnt say that they all do it, but definately that its more common than alot of people realize.

4 of the 6 medal winners over 100m coming from a country with a population of 2.8m is somewhat suspicious...

Especially given Jamaica's poor drug testing policy, it'd be nice to believe that Bolt's legit and for the moment I will but pretty much every previous bit of sudden athletic success by a nation has been dodgy as hell. I think that's a part of why people love Bolt so much, not just the astonishing records but that we can at least hope or believe he's legit because he's something new for sprint with that physique. He doesn't have the strange, puffy muscles of a lot of the US sprinters who got busted for doping.

There are many variations of PEDs. Some of which don't give you that puffy muscle look, but certainly enhance your strength and stamina.

don't forget how much money jamaica puts into their sprinters and facilities.

how much does brazil put into their football players and facilities?
