he said he didn't even care about the time, he just wanted to win

the only reason i can see for him showing off and not getting 9.60 is that he doesnt think 9.6 is that special and will run it a bunch of other times in the future

god, he really is out of the world

he is beyond 'not normal', because running under '9' is already surreal. But, have you seen other guys breaking the 100m record? They were all shitting his pants while doing it, while he was like running in the first part and relaxing on the other.

This man is not born in this world, with or without roids.

He said right after the race that he didn't realize he had gone that fast. He celebrated because he knew he was going to win which is fine. The impression I got from his short post-race interview was that if he had realized he was setting the WR he would have pushed it right to the line.

exactly, this guy is going to break his current record every time he runs by a tenth of a second. easy life.

naw dawg they train to peak for major events when they first start out, then big money events afterwards in europe once they can book large appearance fees as olympic/world champion

in europe events they have win bonuses ie. win X races in euro series get 1M etc

so he just wanted the olympic shit so he can go after that stuff and get it easier, they prolly have world record bonuses too in those events

he was in peak form and if he didn't get the record it's cuz he didn't want to

well, smash it he got it obv dododododo

No roids - He trains for the 400 and 200 so he prolly has the hardest training out of all the other competitors. Plus he is Jamaican (bullet bullet bullet).
His stride is like no other, the guy is 6 5...

It is kinda good that he didn't not go all out because now sponsors will pay him mad money just to see him run the next time he chooses, because they know he is capable of breaking it again and again

pretty sure NBC has the rights to the olympics and wont let anybody else show clips

Ok it wasn't the race, so I clicked the related links - WHY ISNT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM THE ACTUAL RACE? And why does half of them have annoying popups inside the video?? The ad-links inside videos are just ridiculous.. GHFDDFG Why is the best quality video of his race I've been able to find, a fucking homemade video recorded with a shaky hand?

QFT!

What I meant was I don't think he realized he was on world record pace when he let up. He probably just got caught up in celebrating a Gold medal which was the goal he was focused on, setting a WR was probably the furthest thing from his mind. I'm just saying if he had known he was on pace to run a 9.4/9.5 I don't think he'd have let up .

Ridiculous if true and this is how they enforce it.

What about all the other countries (ie swedish television broadcasts the olympics, have they somehow managed to stop youtube from allowing olympic videos from ANY source)?

question is whether or not bolt can break michael johnson's 200 meter record because he apesmashed the 100m record

first this, then 3 Jamaican woman finnish for the medals in the same race...... fucking sick, they must be eating some crazy shit in their country.

Lol good choice of words...

The guy is fast enough to have busted the WR in race simulation training.

I remember this kid when i ran track in high school and he was the fastest 200m junior in the world. I had no real doubt he would win this race but i didn't know he would trash it like this

I doubt he thought it through enough to sandbag an olympic final for the $ he could get in the future from repeatedly breaking the WR. He just looked over to see if asafa was near him and when he wasn't he just started celebrating.

all this jamaican gold... must be the ganj

I fully support show-boating black men at the olympic games.


fuck sportmanship - i want to see gratuitous celebrations and sore losers.
