BBC SPORT | Olympics | Athletics | Video - Bolt destroys 100m field

Didn't look too hard did ya

I didn't look at all You don't have a dog and bark yourself do ya?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

A gentle jog sees him through the latest heat of the 200m. Only 0.75 off the world record and he eased up with about 50 metres to go. This man is incredible.

the BBC comments on this are hilarious!!!

1435: Bolt strolls the second 100m of his semi-final like a man running for a bus but not wanting to make it look like he's running too fast in case he misses it and looks stupid. If you know what I mean. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics/live_action/7569398.stm

BBC text commentary is always well funny

200m final in the next couple of hours, I reckon if he tries he could smash 19 seconds

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

if he can build up that kind of lead over 100m i DREAD to think of how far ahead he could be over 200m

BBC text commentary is always well funny

It's a guy called Ben Dirs, does the Cricket Live Text and always keeps it interesting. Also Tom Fordyce is the same.

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

There is a theory that he could break the world record - certainly at 100m - but that he is holding back to break it in small increments at the lucrative track meets that are held around the world. Big bonuses if you break a world record - so why smash it at the Olympics if you could skim it again and again for the next year and get massive bonuses?

Word of warning - the ever so wise Steve Ovett makes that point that this could be a mistake. No matter how good he is, this is a purple patch. He is unlikely to be in such good form in a years time (injury, form dip etc). Ovett thinks this is a high risk game and it's a shame we won't be seeing this guy smash some records at the Olympics - where it should be done.

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

He's just awesome. And clean it seems.

 

[Mendoza]

he looked like he was struggling at the end, I still think he will break 19 seconds

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Is he human?
