Just saw the replay again and Bolt just destroyed them from start to finish.

He started like someone shot him in the ass and didn't stop. Dude's only 22 and he looked like he had more left in the tank. How low can he go...
 
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
 
I'm speechless...I'm witnessing history and he didn't even run through it to the end. He could easily do even better. :D

Maybe someone has to shoot him in the ass for real. :lol I got a feeling he'd still annihilate the field tho.

Damn that was impressive............

I just watched a replay of michael johnson's reaction to this race on the bbc and.......:lol

And he was the bolt of 200/400.

I look forward to bolt's 9.4.
 
You gotta feel bad for Gay who runs 9.71 and still isn't anywhere close to winning. GAME OVER YEAAAAAAAAAAH

But Bolt. Insane.

Funniest thing about that post you quoted is the 4 years will be the next Olympics with Bolt defending and in his prime. Lol

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.

Bolt will dominate for the next two Olympics imo. He'll only be 29 for the 2016 Olympics. That Hitman guy is such an idiot.

Greatest Athlete ever!

fastest. on land. over short distances.

Best athletes are the people that can do all sports and competition at extremely high levels.

This doesn't diminish his accomplishment any. 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

dude bolt has already beaten Johnson's WR at 200m. Bolt > Johnson.

Don't get carried away. Decathaletes post olympic caliber times/heights/distances in 10 events
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?

I just read that the record of a German athlete over 100m is 10.06secs (still from 1985). How fucking slow is that?
Would have gotten him 8th place in the World Championship race that was just run...
 
darkwings said:
um any white guy has struggled to get under 10.00

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.

Bolt ran 9.69 before today's 9.58...

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 ridiculous

they are the definition of worlds greatest athelete and it's your mindset that causes them to not get much recognition

You would need his body fat content, leg structure, and pumped full of whatever next generation designer drugs he's on.
Ben Johnson was shit until trained by a canadian at 14. He wasn't the best when he became a Canadian sprinter
If trained you mean gave steroids and provided basic coaching well yes. Don't forget Bailey. Same boat but I know what you mean.

to me the definition of the greatest athlete is one who's mind and body is best suited for any athletic test which the decathletes are. the best among them, would be the best athlete.

ESPN has really crappy coverage of this historical event. Imagine if an american had done this WR, lol.
At least they're on it. Fucking CBC showing tennis and will have the race on tape. What a fucking joke
 
there has to be some scientific explanation that makes black guys superior at this kind of thing compared to whites

is many of these "being fast" disciplines africans just ridicule the rest
theres something to it dammit 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 a
total 180 now
 
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

Phelps lost a race in the past year, so no he's not the best in his own sport.
