New WR by Bolt in 200m in about 15 min!

[Wiggs]

Utter domination by an Alien Human hybrid.  Agent Mulder was right.

[Per Se]

who gives a shit...??   black man doing black man things

Epic monster brutal jealousy ha ha u pussy.

What Bolt jus did was CRAAAAAZZZZZZZY.

Embrace him. 

[Signifying Monkey]

he's like the einstein of running

[240 is Back]

any youtube clip yet?

ESPN reported but couldn't show it

[Boost]

He should go completely AWOL and cement messiah status.

Whats even more insane is that his 100m WR is 9.58sec

And now his 200m record is 19.19..


If you take his 100M record times two      9.58 X 2 = 19.16

So he is basically holding his CRUSHING 100m WR Pace for 200 fucking Meters.

you don't calculate it this way, the 200m race has a running start on the last 100m.

If he can actually maintain his top speed of his 100m WR and carry it into the last stretch of the 200m, he will go below 19secs ( which is TOUGH).

thats a good point

It's still more complicated than that.
In 100m they reach top speed in 60m-80m split. 200m is run differently, they don't accelerate as aggressively as in 100m.

Also in 200 meters they run the curve. That slows them down a little.

Yes it does but they get a running start at the last 100.

Awesome performance.

Question: Would the 200m be quicker if they ran in a straight line? Perhaps they should. Bolt would prob go under 19.

Also on Youtube but the one there is of poor quality.
