...but it wasn't even close to gold. That stinking Jamaican isn't human. 9.89 for Thompson.....9.69 for Bolt...and he quit running with fifteen meters left in the race and started celebrating. I've never seen anything like it in a race.
Usain Bolt is incredible. He is just insanely fast. If he had kept running he would have knocked another tenth off the world record.
:milesmic::milesmic::milesmic::rofl: Bolt was incredible, hope he's clean. I always wondered when a tall guy would put everything together and demolish the field, Lord knows how fast this guy can eventually go.
Great run by Thompson, glad to see him have a great run. However Bolt looked like he was from another planet, maybe the one superman came from. It was unreal to see him stop running so early in the race and still blow everyone away. No telling what his time would have been had he kept it at full throttle. Unless he gets hurt everyone else is running for second place for a while.
Bolt could take another 10th off that 100M time. I look for him to run sub 9.6 at some point in the future. He probably could have run it yesterday if he hadn't started celebrating in the last 15 meters. Michael Johnson's record in the 200M will likely fall with the way Bolt is running.
No kidding. 9.69 is unbelievable and he coasted the last 20m. I can't even imagine him breaking his own WR when he wasn't even really trying. The commentators said he would've had 9.59 or something like that had he kept running. Somebody better check his urine.
the real question is----can bolt make more $$$ as a sprinter or a NFL WR? think Moss with more strength and speed.
