Libertine Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 Wow.That'll take some beating. I'd love to be able to race against him. Would be about 2 seconds behind, but still.
Milky Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 Didn't think i'd see a 9.58 for decades! Privilege to watch
Thracian Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 Got to feel for second place as he got 9.71 usually enough to win any 100 metre race That's exactly what I said to my missus - you could see the bloke was devasted although his comment "I couldn't even catch him when the race was finished," was a classic. Bolt produced one of those sporting moments you just feel privileged to have witnessed. As did Jennifer Ennis. I hardly ever watch athletics now, it is such a tainted world. But you couldn't help being aware of seeing something special tonight.
AjcW Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 I watched that at the gym on the running machine... an epic 9 seconds that was... He just defies belief... Could of sworn he was jogging a little again
Benji Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 I watched that at the gym on the running machine... an epic 9 seconds that was... He just defies belief... Could of sworn he was jogging a little again Did you race him? How did you compare?
AjcW Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 Did you race him? How did you compare? No I actually slowed down after 5 seconds and then stopped at 7 when i realised what he was about to do
Dave-Pundit Posted 17 August 2009 Posted 17 August 2009 hardly suprising he ran so quick when someone named gay was chasing him.
dandannieldanok Posted 17 August 2009 Posted 17 August 2009 The guy deserves to milk his success because he's ridiculously talented, but I think on occasion he takes it too far.
MPH Posted 17 August 2009 Posted 17 August 2009 as soon as he won that for reasons beyond my control i muttered the words 'HOLY SH*T'.the man may be arrogant but he can do what he wants, he isnt human!! you right. Every now and then someone comes along who has every right t be arrogant. This is the man who can, right now... If i am not mistaken didnt Tyson Gay who was quite a bit back break the world record, too?
StanSP Posted 17 August 2009 Posted 17 August 2009 you right.Every now and then someone comes along who has every right t be arrogant. This is the man who can, right now... If i am not mistaken didnt Tyson Gay who was quite a bit back break the world record, too? Tyson Gay got 9.71. Don't think that was WR. But I'd be so annoyed getting that time and not winning!
lildave3 Posted 17 August 2009 Posted 17 August 2009 you right.Every now and then someone comes along who has every right t be arrogant. This is the man who can, right now... If i am not mistaken didnt Tyson Gay who was quite a bit back break the world record, too? No he was 0.02 off of it. Slow bastard.
dandannieldanok Posted 17 August 2009 Posted 17 August 2009 Gay's was a national record which is still mightily impressive despite getting beat reasonably easily.
Father Ted Posted 17 August 2009 Posted 17 August 2009 hardly suprising he ran so quick when someone named gay was chasing him.
dandannieldanok Posted 17 August 2009 Posted 17 August 2009 On a side note, Dwain Chambers running 10 seconds flat is very good, admirable performance.
Bluefoxtim Posted 17 August 2009 Posted 17 August 2009 On a side note, Dwain Chambers running 10 seconds flat is very good, admirable performance. Yeah, it would be if he wasn't a cheat!
MPH Posted 17 August 2009 Posted 17 August 2009 Yeah, it would be if he wasn't a cheat! he isnt. He once was. By your logic, my mates dad who was arrested when he was 17 for nicking a football from a notts Forest reserve match and was stopped from emigrating to Australia because of it, is still a criminal. Even though he hasnt so much as got a speeding ticket since.
AjcW Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 What time is the finals of the 200m? Still just the second round this evening, bolt going in heat 1 at 17:55. He literally jogged through the first round, gazing around and even smiling at people in the crowd
AjcW Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 Bolt joggs the home strait, would of and will smash his world record when he sprints in the final.
