Manics said:What a performance. Never thought I'd see a guy run under 9.6. They have to handicap Bolt for others to have a shot. Make him start 1 metre behind lol
Hitman said:Who cares about Usain Bolt... in 4 years he will be forgotten like Donavan Baily and Michael Johnson before him.
its canada who buys jamaican sprinters, get it rightnitewulf said:dont worry, soon the US will buy him and he'll start earning gold for america in the next olympics.
Don't get carried away. Decathaletes post olympic caliber times/heights/distances in 10 eventsdarkwings said:Greatest Athlete ever!
Funniest thing about that post you quoted is the 4 years will be the next Olympics with Bolt defending and in his prime. LolForzaItalia said::lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
Ben Johnson was shit until trained by a canadian at 14. He wasn't the best when he became a Canadian sprinteracidviper said:its canada who buys jamaican sprinters, get it right

""No way in hell this guy [Bolt] would beat me," Johnson says, laughing out loud. "No way. You'll never see another Ben Johnson."
Graf Nudu said:I just read that the record of a German athlet over 100m is 10.06secs (still from 1985). How fucking slow is that?

duderon said:Plus using Michael Johnson as an example of how Bolt will be forgotten. MJ is still regarded as the greatest 200/400 sprinter in history.
I don't think that Bolt is even in the discussion for greatest athlete ever, but I hate that notion that decathletes are somehow superior to specialists.littleorphanfunk said:Don't get carried away. Decathaletes post olympic caliber times/heights/distances in 10 events
Would have gotten him 8th place in the World Championship race that was just run...Graf Nudu said:I just read that the record of a German athlete over 100m is 10.06secs (still from 1985). How fucking slow is that?
darkwings said:um any white guy has struggled to get under 10.00
Ptaaty said:I mean he blew through two barriers in one damn race.. 9.7 and 9.6. Absurd really.
Tyson Gay had an obscene time as well...but it just fell so short. Can you imagine running faster than anyone else ever has...except the guy next to you, who beat you soundly? God that would suck
Faster than anyone else but still not as fast as Bolt's 2nd best time ever lolPtaaty said:Tyson Gay had an obscene time as well...but it just fell so short. Can you imagine running faster than anyone else ever has...except the guy next to you, who beat you soundly? God that would suck
lol the dude is the 1st and 2nd best sprinter ever.Manics said:Faster than anyone else but still not as fast as Bolt's 2nd best time ever lol
Plenty of decathaletes post PR's in events that would have put them on the podium in most Olympic games for their events. "average" is a little ridiculousChichikov said:I don't think that Bolt is even in the discussion for greatest athlete ever, but I hate that notion that decathletes are somehow superior to specialists.
Why is it better to be average in 10 events (an no, there's no decathlete who post Olympic caliber results in 10 events, not even close) than it is to excel in 2?
You would need his body fat content, leg structure, and pumped full of whatever next generation designer drugs he's on.Graf Nudu said:Seriously, I have about the same height and weight as Bolt and I'm good at running fast, but I'm white. This makes me wonder how fast I could get with such a technique like his.
If trained you mean gave steroids and provided basic coaching well yes. Don't forget Bailey. Same boat but I know what you mean.Ben Johnson was shit until trained by a canadian at 14. He wasn't the best when he became a Canadian sprinter

they are the definition of worlds greatest athelete and it's your mindset that causes them to not get much recognition
At least they're on it. Fucking CBC showing tennis and will have the race on tape. What a fucking jokedarkwings said:ESPN has really crappy coverage of this historical event. Imagine if an american had done this WR, lol.
That's no argument. They're all on something man. Still "buying" sprinters is a bit of a stretch, they came to Canada for opportunity cause Jamaica sprinting program was shit 20 years ago. It's aacidviper said:You would need his body fat content, leg structure, and pumped full of whatever next generation designer drugs he's on.

Phelps lost a race in the past year, so no he's not the best in his own sport.GSG Flash said:Bolt at his own sport > Phelps at his own sport
Hell, Phelps isn't even the best in his own sport, I think Thorpe is a better swimmer. But Bolt is just insane, breaks the world record and then breaks it's a second time because the first time wasn't enough :lol
