      That was just amazing. Bolt is the greatest ever, and it seems like he's on his way of getting under 9.5 if he wants to. I'm gobsmacked.
      And that says it all really doesn't it?!!

        Holy ****
        I could not dig, I dared not rob:
        Therefore I lied to please the mob.
        Now all my lies are proved untrue
        And I must face the men I slew.
        What tale shall serve me here among
        Mine angry and defrauded young?

          Staggering that the 5th placed ran 9.93.

          I remember the days of Carl Lewis, Calvin Smith, Dennis Mitchell, Burrell etc, and in those days 9.93 would guarantee a medal, usually gold.

            Nothing needs to be added.

            And to think Bolt's start (or take off?) isn't very good.

            Imagine if he improves his start.

              Started well today. If he sharpens bits of his race he'll be even more incredible. If he could stay focused all the way to the line and improve his start he'll easily be sub 9.50.
              Forwards.......

                Quite amazing that a guy who cant concentrate for 10 seconds can be the worlds fastest runner

                But as mentioned above, he needs to improve just a bit on his start and he is below 9.5, which just a couple of years back was considered ridiculous to even think about!

                  His start is much better than it used to be. It was better than Gay's tonight.

                  I defy anyone not to find that race exhilarating to watch.

                  Anyone sensible that is, so that excludes fredo and carheex.

                  Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



                  May the Lord bless this post.

                    Haha good choice of word, it was totally exhilarating. I have no affiliation or ties with Bolt, none whatsoever (I realise this may surprise you ) yet I was whooping involuntarily, standing up and cheering. It's a privilege to witness such superhuman greatness.

                      By the way, 5Live tonight were comparing Bolt with Federer and Woods.


                      B*st*rd radio hacks, nicking our ideas.

                        I put my hands in the air like I'd won.

                        I then wondered why there were there and rather sheepishly lowered them.

                                He's ****ing hilarious aswell, what a character. Theres a lot of incredible sportsmen/athletes about but not many that combine such character with it. Some of the moves he does and the stuff he says to the camera before a race is comical.
