Well, he'll be tested - extra because of the WR.
If you're suggesting those muscles are big enough to suggest out of season drug use, you're a very strange man.

He had a 0.9m/s headwind - he couldn't showboat much and still break the record.
What's the usual relationship between 100m and 200m times? I know 200m is faster overall because of the start, but how much difference is there? 9.69 showboating in the 100m should mean he can go a lot faster than 19.30 in the 200m, shouldn't it?
ETA: Old records were 9.85 and 19.32 (=2*9.66). If he can do 9.65 in the 100m, he should be able to beat 19 dead in the 200m.

It's almost like there's a WR clock in his head - I could see him thinking about it with 40m to go and deciding he was gonna have to run the whole way.I think you are right now Ive seen the replay
But he can go faster!

Yep!I love watching johnsons reactions.
And every time he explains that 6'5" just shouldn't be able to get up to speed that quickly, but once it does noone else has a chance. One of the greatest short distance runners in history explaining that it's 100% technique, and still some idiots are shouting DRUGS!!!1!

They just make me laugh now those people tbh, better off not reacting to them.
Yep, he looked to tire right towards the end. Not surprising given the amount of sprinting (or at least very fast jogging) he's been doing.

Oh good job Tasha!
Loved how delighted she was when she realized she won the bronze.
Whoa!
She makes mighty use of those wonderfully long, beautifully toned legs
