Usain Bolt

[sten_super]

don't think that is humanly possible, that would be another 8 metres in front of where he finished today.

l really like him though, and amazingly he's probably clean as he doesn't have that look that you usually get with the athletes who use drugs.

I agree, but he does look like he could possibly go sub-9.6 if he actually bothered to sprint for the whole 100m, which would be absolutely MENTAL.

that was f***ing insane!!

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

I reckon he'll go sub 9.5 before he retires, he just looks insanely good

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

Just watched the final - that was just insane!! He could have gone so much faster - he slowed down with about 30 meters to go!

 

[Raphael Meade]

i reckon so laura!
that MUST have been a sub 9.5 if he hadn't let up, innit?

I reckon so - i really think he could have done it

 

[footychick]

Brilliant - he really shot his bolt

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Awesome running, unbelievable. The show boating near the end, was top class.

 

[cjwoolven]

unreal running. could do even better if he didnt showboat.
but then again, everyone would showboat with superhuman running like that.

 

[Lord Large]

Absolutely amazing.

If only there was someone around to really push him.

I agree with that. He doesn't look like a pumped up, muscle-bound runner. In fact, with his height and stride length his improvements are all about technical issues, which aren't helped by drugs of any kind.

The guy is simply awesome, and it's just mind-blowing to think what he may be able to achieve at 100 and 200. Don't forget, the 100m was very much his secondary event behind the 200m, and it wasn't all that long ago that he actually decided to double up. Originally, he was just going to run the 200m.

The last time i saw anyone running that fast was at Norwood Junction a few years back......the natives from there were well quick

 

[The Large One]

Absolutely amazing.

Bugatti Veyron?

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

Didn't look too hard did ya

 

[Beach Hut]

And running the 200m next week. Michael Johnson's record could go then.

I have to say I always believed Johnson's record would last forever but on this evidence it may well be history next week.

Usian Bolt is incredible to say the least.

 

[brighton rock]

magic run

 

[Easy 10]

The average athlete does the 100m in 46 strides. Bolt does it in 41.

So size DOES matter. I knew it.

Don't worry about it, I've told you before.

 

[Playing On The Grit]

The cynics are saying that he deliberately eased up to save the serious record breaking for the grand prix events and invitationals when he will be paid huge amounts just to break records.
