I can't believe Gaitlin got Bronze.

And what in the literal fuck Asafa. That better be an injury and not him pulling out for no damned reason.

 

[Balehead]

Good lord Gatlin looks stiff for such a fast man.

 

[Meadows]

poor Tyson Gay

 

[distantmantra]

Of course the NBC stream goes down. What shit.

What? I was watching the Main Track and Field stream and it didn't go down.

 

[Bulbo Urethral Baggins]

So I bet you guys are wondering who won the equestrian event I'm watching.

 

[Nolan.]

Damn it Asafa only guy not to run under 10s so didn't set record for fastest final

 

[giga]

"You got 4th. Tell me how you're feeling"

What do you think you fools.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

What a beast, glad he at least set a new OR

 

[Joel Was Right]

Gay and Gatlin couldn't be separated beyond Gatlin timing his head lean right. If Gay had leaned forward, he would have won the bronze

 

[LegoArmo]

Aw, Tyson Gay is pretty upset.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Bolt's good but he's no Prince Harry.

 

[Hobbestetrician]

Gotta go fast. Holy shit.

 

[donkey show]

Couldn't keep her eyes off him...

 

[navanman]

poor Tyson Gay

He timed his lean wrong. Should have got that bronze medal.

 

[Confusion Illusion]

Jamaica represent. My mother was going crazy lol.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Lol at people moaning that he didn't set a world record

Best Olympian of all time for me

 

[ezrarh]

Aww..feeling bad for Tyson. It would have been better if he got the bronze instead of Gatlin.

 

[criesofthepast]

He looks so chill when he's running. Everyone else is laboring in comparison. Gatlin for example looks like he's taking a huge dump while running. Is it bolts height that gives him that relaxed looking running style? I guess he's taking less steps to reach 100m due to his longer legs. Can't explain it but guy makes it look so easy.

Poor Powell.

 

[NomarTyme]

What a beast, glad he at least set a new OR

He does it on purpose.... he can run faster! new record = mo money.

 

[distantmantra]

So I bet you guys are wondering who won the equestrian event I'm watching.

Not really. I've got it on the TV while I'm watching the livestream on the computer.

 

[K1LLER7]

Gay was unlucky. Bolt brilliant

 

[Awesome]

He can do it, it'll be very close, and his start has to be the best he's ever had but he can do it

He definitely slowed down, three years is a long time, if he was going to do it he would have done it now. The guy is too good but that record is going to stay.

 

[Y2Kev]

Gaitlin had to win :\

 

[Forceatowulf]

Bolt Da God.

lol@ the non-believers and Blake bandwagonners.

 

[Curufinwe]

What? I was watching the Main Track and Field stream and it didn't go down.

It did for me. I watched it in a tiny little box on here.

[MasterShotgun]

He so would have broken the WR with a better start.

And it was almost a total sub-10 second final if it weren't for Powell having an issue.

 

[Willkiller]

So I bet you guys are wondering who won the equestrian event I'm watching.

WAS IT BOLT?!

 

[Jal]

damn that event is so awesome. It goes by so fast!

Around 10 seconds.

 

[Atrophis]

So free for Bolt. Legend.

Everyone ran under 10 except Powell.

 

[Nemo]

Feel bad for Gay and Powell

 

[Vicetrailia]

Amazing how 10,000 spectators suddenly go super quiet for the race, one person could have made noise but nope, silence.

amazing run by Bolt but no new WR, was expecting him to crush it.

The pressure was immense, nothing like it.

 

[Brazil]

WAS IT BOLT?!

Bolt the horse.

 

[mxgt]

Should've been Gay over Gatlin. fuck cheaters.

 

[danwarb]

Wasn't far off the record. With a better start maybe.

 

[distantmantra]

It did for me. I watched it in a tiny little box on here.

http://www.nbcolympics.com/liveextra/index.html

Yeah, that's what I using. I got to see the entire race.

 

[McNei1y]

Around 10 seconds.

lol yea!

I mean just the hype around the event... then 10 seconds later its done. I want more!

 

[Xeke]

Godawful NBC stream, missed all but the finishline.

 

[davidsaurus]

Great shot of the race on the hammer feed as they showed it from the infield.

Thanks, just went back and watched it pretty interesting. 1h40m on the Hammer Stream for anyone interested.

 

[flippedb]

Bolt is too damn good.

 

[RivalCore]

Bolt is such a class act. The stadium must feel electric after that.

 

[Dance Inferno]

Man I feel bad for Tyson Gay, losing out on a medal by 0.01 seconds to a drugs cheat like Gatlin.

 

[Chumly]

Aw, Tyson Gay is pretty upset.

Losing out to a cheater by a hundredth of a second? I would be also

 

[Osietra]

Poor start from Bolt, surely would have broken the WR if he had a better start.

That's a seriously weird start.

 

[Koodo]

Lord, the seconds before the race starts are intense. THE event of the Olympics. *O*

 

[Altazor]

1- DAT LIGHTNING BOLT

2- Poor Asafa

 

[BKJest]

His start wasn't too bad. He'll never be in front at 30m compared to all the smaller guys. He takes a while to get going.

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

Amazing how 10,000 spectators suddenly go super quiet for the race, one person could have made noise but nope, silence.

amazing run by Bolt but no new WR, was expecting him to crush it.

80,000 actually

 

[Nemo]

Lmao at the mascot :lol

 

[Diablohead]

get dat mascot out of here!
