he shut it down at the 85 meter mark. dude could have ran faster. world record.
-
Worthless without yt link.
I dont get why the cut down on the pase just before the finishline, why not do it just AFTER the finish line? :/
-
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
he was looking over his shoulder before crossing the finish line ... damn this guy was so confident ... a well deserved win

turn to any sports channel. im sure its on. just happened. if you have a tv

Shame Collins did not medal, came so close at 4th, which is outstanding anyway.
His island is even smaller than mine - about 10,000 population total, so is huge for such a tiny place to send someone who did so well.
-
First guy to run under 9.7. Broke his own world record. Freaky distance between 1st and 2nd. Reminds me of vintage Powell.

Why are you so happy?

i cant believe his name is actually 'Bolt', i mean how fitting is that.

Yeah! like Flex Wheeler! What are the chances!!??
-
he could have run 9.55 if pushing till the end
-
He could have done 9.5 if he`d have not jogged the last 20 metres.Michael Johnsons reaction is classic.

That's amazing that "Bolt" IS his real name. "Flex" is a nickname, his real name is Kenneth

Did you see him "pray" at the start of the race? What a dumb ass.
All drugs.

I'm looking forward to when this slave gets caught for doping. This guy had never run the 100m before this year and now he's the world record holder and olympic champion. reminds me of a similar story... ben johnson. Oh well, at least we know how fast drugs can make a 6'5" guy run.

why is he on drugs but not phelps?
-
phelps has been worldclass for years, bolt had only run the 100m professionaly once before this season and now he is the world record holder and olympic champion. If he's clean, great... but i've been following track for a long time and usually the "out of nowhere" guys test positive at some point or another.

when you are tall like that and can get a half way decent start...that top end speed+long stride = cruise control. Look at how carl lewis used to float to the finish like a cadillac.
very disappointed in Tyson Gay punk a$$. Asafa choked big time. Congrats to Dix from FSU bringing home bronze.

Doubt he will get caught, would've been caught by now - with the *five* times they've tested him this past week alone.
Google it if you doubt me. Bolt and Asafa have been subjected to the MOST drug testing of this Olympics - bar none, a fact from the IOC themselves.

Why is Michael Johnson a pundit on BBC (dont get me wrong fantastic man and athlete)
I just thought a US station would have snapped him up.
Did he have a fall out with the US media?

My reckoning is that track and field isn't very popular in the US hence why the BBC snapped him up for the money. Take other more popular sports like tennis for example - John McEnroe commentates for US TV but I bet the BBC would love to have him at Wimbledon but broadcasters like NBC or whoever will pay top dollar because the sport itself is more popular.
-
Has been on BBC for years very entertaining and knowledgeable which is very good. Knows a lot of the sprinters and has cool stories.

Yep - when the BBC first got him I thought it was quite the coup considering he had only just retired and had not long set the 200m World Record - one of the best pundits on there at the moment.
-
The male gymnast commentator who used to host Blue Peter is surprisingly good.
Sharon Davis is still looking well despite elements of haggardness creeping in...then again she must be nearly 50, 45 at least
Is Michael Johnsons 200m WR under thread

Blue Peter
Emergency room! Right now!

Why?
because you are a fucking racist moron

bs
no way hes more juiced than the others
hes just 1 in a million standing 6'5'' an able to move his bodyparts quick enough to run fast
his secret is his size without losing coordination
the gay is the total opposite , just a narrow guy on anything

If he's clean, great... but i've been following track for a long time and usually the "out of nowhere" guys test positive at some point or another.
you've been following track for a long time eh?
then you'd know that Usain has been breaking world records since he was 12 years old, smashing youth and junior records, and running sub 20 second 200m times since he was 17? Who, EVER has been so dominant for such a long time, from such a young age?. He first ran a competitive 100m last year to work on his 200m speed and clocked 10.03 seconds. Get that?- ran it for a training run and for the first time competitively- up to that point he was a 200 and 400m runner.
He and his coach decided he'd work on his speed and shape for some more 100s this year and his first one was 9.76s..after less than 6 months working on it.
If YOU were using, wouldnt you make it less obvious?- would you even use if you've won everything from the age of 12 years old?...it just doesnt make any sense at all that this guy's on drugs.
Furthermore he had at least 0.1s up his sleeve, in still conditions..so he couldve ran 9.59s.
Give him the legal 2m/s tail wind and he wouldve gone 9.53s last night.
He's still only 21 years old and most sprinters peak around 30. If he had Tyson Gay's 4m/s wind at his back and ran through last night, he wouldve gone sub 9.5s
It really shits me how people with a little bit of info flap their mouths when they see something unreal because they cant explain it. We've just seen a freak on stage people- lap it up for what it is..incredible.
-
damm....he beat Ben Johnson's time. That is pretty good.
They are all on drugs people if you don't believe it good for you i'm sure life is easy for you.

Colin Jackson gets on my tits, though.
My friend reckons that he was "special friends" with the swimmer, Mark Foster.
-
Colin Jackson = Gayer than Graham Norton.
The guy from blue peter = Don't know what the fuck hes talking about so he makes loud "oooo, YES" sounds after each person's routine.
-
Disco Stu is a thick cunt that loves the black cock.
-
I have followed athletics as long as i can remember. Usian bolt, as disco_stu said jas been dominating as long as he has been running. A few injuries meant that when gay powell etc were dominating he was not around.
Also spot on just a very tall ranging guy with leg speed which is essential. Its like a Bnech presser with really long arms. Doesnt mean that it cant be done. Just that in almost all but the exceptional athlete it will be much much much harder and rarer
-
that was an impressive win...hate to beat a dead horse but that was as convincing a win as ben johnson had... hell if he passes all his test that is fantastic
-

I agree.
What with the epi test/test ratio being set so high, and with there being no test for insulin/growth hormone/IGF/Aicar/Gene doping, only a fool would compare this wogs honourable win with that of the filthy cunt Ben Johnson.
Have I said Disco Stu is a fuckwit?
-
i think bolt can run 9.55 in the near future (if he gets a better wind...+1.5-2.0..and he runs through the complete race)
-
Worthless without yt link.
I dont get why the cut down on the pase just before the finishline, why not do it just AFTER the finish line? :/
because he knew he would win and maybe because he wants to be able to break the world record more times. (bubka strategy)
-
get this..
Usain's preparation for the 100m final and semi final was...sleep in, watch tv, eat some chicken nuggets, sleep, get some more chicken nuggets, then go to the track.
he was tested 32 times in the last 3 months. and his blood has been stored for retrospective testing also. If he tests positive he'll be lynched in jamaica and his family will suffer humiliation beyond belief.
He has no incentive to use. the guy's a machine.
-
He has no incentive to use.
Are you kidding? Gold medals, fame, a shitload of money, etc.
This whole thing hinges on the effectiveness of the testing. Is it effective or not? I say it's not, you say it is. There's really nothing more to debate.

Do you have incentive to take drugs if you are so good that you can win easily without them? If you are so good that taking them would only jeopardize your health and potentially humiliate your family and country?
C'mon.

And you believe he's just that damn good eh? All of these guys are elite without drugs, but that doesn't mean they're not enhanced.
If we're going to take an athlete's risk/benefit assessment as proof he wouldn't use, I'd suggest a lot of them would see the olympics as their last and only chance to make a lifetime's worth of money from sponserships. The benefits outweight the risks when there's no test for some drugs, like GH. As I said, it all comes down to how much faith you have in the tests.
-
Trust GetBig to focus on the drugs rather than the achievement. Their blood tests are held for 8 years, which is usually enough time to discover the test for the particular drug or masking agent that anyone may have been using. I personally doubt he was using anything.
-

C'mon.
How do they test for testosterone usage in amounts that would allow him to stay within the epi test/test ratio? how do they test for GH, Insulin, IFG/MGF & other novel peptides, Aicar, gene doping?
That list is before we even get onto the timing of the tests you keep trumpeting.
You do know you are a fuckwit?

Excellent post overall Disco Stu, and yes it amazes me that people are trying to act as though they know track and field, but then somehow say he came out of nowhere? He's been around for years running world class times.

At that level, it comesback down to being the hardest worker and most dedicated to your job.

True - Michael Johnson is far more popular in Europe than he ever was here.

Two guys with brains in the one thread! It's a first for getbig!
That's right guys, only the ones that get caught are using drugs. Like Marion Jones, never caught, comletely natural.
What about the 2001 Mr.Olympia? Jay got caught using duiretics and the rest were clean! They didn't get caught they couldn't have been using!
