Ooo looks like Tyson Gay is out, mind you he isn't fit - Powell looks pretty strong though

 

[JTG]

Jamaica all the way

 

[JTG]

Only two sprinters from the US in the final and none from Europe

 

[fjydj]

go Asafa, go for the gold!

Only two sprinters from the US in the final and none from Europe

Its almost a cleansweep for the West Indies. Astonishing success.

 

[JTG]

If only they'd stuck to playing cricket

Jeanette Kwakye just made the 100m semis.

Montell Douglas is currently fastest loser.

Greg Rutherford through to the Long Jump Final

 

[Melinda]

This is going to be a legendary race!

 

[Melinda]

New World Record and he was pissing about! FFS!

He was celebrating from half way. WTF!

 

[colacubes]

Fucking hell - he looked like he wasn't even trying

 

[Augie March]

Jebus. That was utterly, utterly ridiculous!

 

[Ich bin ein Mod]

Ridiculous! He was miles ahead of everyone!

 

[Melinda]

That was fucking MENTAL.

9.69secs. What the fuck.

He was easing down from 10 metres out.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fuck. Me. Sideways.

That just takes the piss!

 

[Homeless Mal]

That looked very suspicious. If he had not pulled up he would have run under 9 sec or just above. mmmm

 

[colacubes]

I think I'd just retire if I was running against him.

 

[Epico]

By christ - he was celebrating with 30-40m to go!

 

[ScallyWag II]

what good timing, back from the shops just in time to see this!

What a margin to win by! Colin Jackson said this morning that Bolts would win by a meter and a half. I thought "no way", but he got it right!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I don't know what to say - that was outrageous. In a way I wished he'd kept running flat out to the end to see what time he would have got.

Wow. Amazing performance.

 

[Lord Camomile]

In a way I wished he'd kept running flat out to the end to see what time he would have got.

Well bloody exactly! Suppose he's saving himself for the 200m

 

[mentalchik]

That was fucking awesome !


He could go easily a lot faster i reckon !


well done !

 

[Epico]

He's still only 21 - he's still got time to improve further.

It's just amazing!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Actually missed that, will watch the highlights!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Actually missed that, will watch the highlights!

Trippy!! You've missed everything today

 

[Melinda]

Actually missed that, will watch the highlights!

LMFAO!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Nah, been watching football(just as interesting for me!). I saw all i needed to see last night. Saw the replay anyways.

 

[Melinda]

Trippy styles it out!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

That was a fantastic clip of Michael Johnson watching the race!! He was so excited
