Title: Bolt v. Gatlin in 100m final
Post by: Irongrip400 on August 23, 2015, 06:15:08 AM
Gatlin ran his semi final in 9.77 while Bolt ran 9.96. I'm surprised there's no thread on these two natural athletes of peace.

This means a lot because I've been struggling all season, it's taken me a while to work things out. It's been up and down but it's okay now.

I struggled earlier also. But when you get out here, it's totally different from practice. I'm not good with starts and so I knew I had to get it all right.

For me I understand why people wanted me to win but I wanted to do it for myself also. It was a big deal.

Guy is running his fastest times ever, in his early 30s.

After a couple drug suspensions so you know he's clean now, surely learned his lesson.

Great natural athlete.

About two months ago I ran into Justin Gatlin at a gas station.  He was looking at my car and I was looking at his.  He came over and asked me about it.  He was driving a red Cadillac Escalade EXT with red rims on it.  The front license plate said "Juice" on it I remember.

No it was him.  I recognized him and he also had Gatlin written on one window very small.

He was very nice.  Not a typical Hebrew in most respects.

Bolt stumbled on semi-final and still won that heat!
To me that was more impressive than winning the finals.

How much you think it costs in times to run semi-final and final within hours of each other?

That's so funny to me.  It's so easy to just pop off bullshit on the Internet. I bought it.  Didn't seem so outrageous.

They've done studies to show that Jesse Owens would be right up there with Bolt if he was running on the same surface.

He will reply and try to shift the goalposts but it's a fact that people set this record (i.e. are the best sprinter in recorded history) in their 20s then decline.

Why is Bolt not running 9.6 anymore, for example ??? ??? He's almost 30, should be "peaking" according to Adonis.

Here is the ages of the field today:

1. Bolt 29
2. Gatlin 33
3. Trayvon (:D) Bromell 20
4. Andre De Grasse 20
5. Mike Rodgers 30
6. Tyson Gay 33
7. Asafa Powell 32
8. Jimmy Vicaut 23

Hey Adonis what are all those 20-somethings doing here?  Why are the 30-somethings not smoking them in the qualifying heats ???

Funny how the only ones over 30 in this group have all been suspended at least once for drugs.

Seems he can't go sub-10 even anymore.

Bolt's 200 m record (19.19 I think) will probably also be around for a long while.  He smashed Michael Johnson's record which was an amazing record on its own.

He has had a serious pelvic injury and ran 3 100m races before worlds hitting 10.12 before london in july when he did 9.87 in shit conditions. Im a cynical fuck but he has broken records since he was a kid. 15 world junior champ (imagine you at 15 v 18 year old football players), ran under 20s in 200m at 17... beijing 21 he runs 9.69 taking piss 9.58 a year later pushing it. He is one of few i believe could just be a legit freak.

Thing is when he goes and times go back to 9.8s who will care? It is a sport measured by milliseconds not by contest. Any reference to a winning 9.8x will be followed by "but bolt ran"....

People say they want clean sports. I want someone to run sub 9s leave two trails of fire and go back to 1955. If they drugged.... fuck it. Good tv.

9.58 is crazy.  Unbelievable time.

I have posted this before but if you exclude everyone who's been suspended for PED then Bolt is the only guy since 1988 to run faster than Ben Johnson's 9.79.

Not saying Bolt is "clean" but he's yet to be caught.
