Usain Bolt breaks 100m world record

Yeah Man!

That is lightening quick, and he practically stopped trying after 90m. I reckon he could've gone faster. Unbelievable.
 
Fucker looked like he was strolling in the park. Did in the heats too. Hope he ain't found to have beeen taking rugs. Unless it's weed - imagine how fucking fast he'd be when not stoned :eek:
 
Nope. I blinked and I missed it.

Nah, not really, yes I did. Wonder what time he would have achieved if he hadn't eased off and started looking around?
 
Almost insulting - I expected him to do the last 5m backwards going "c'mon, where are yas?". Incredible performance. He's not bulky enough for it to be drug- assisted, I don't think. He's just found a way to shift that huge frame super-quick - it's a bit like getting the big mushroom in Mario Kart.

During sports day at primary school aged 7 or 8 I was winning the 400m by quite a distance distance and so decided to walk the last 20 or 30 meters to show off. I was promptly caught and beaten. I've rarely felt like such a twat before or since!

He could have easily but what's the point in smashing the record to bits at the Olympics? Breaking his own record at another event will be a big payday and at 21 he's going to have another crack at the Olympic Record in 2012.

That's the *very* last time I blindly google something I know nothing about. :eek: :(

Anyways... Bolt, sensational! He's relaxed in that final 10, pulling away from guys who's eyes are popping out!

Like this: :eek: :D :eek:

He'll have to live a long, long time then. It's taken 40 years to shave just over a quarter of a second off the record:

I do wonder about the physical limits of this. Will any non-bionic runner ever do 9.00? What about 8.00? 3.00? :eek: At what point, in the panel's opinion, will the human body say "this far, and no further"?
 
Which is why the whole emphasis on world records has to be changed. Changing the focus to "Years best" will not eradicate the desire to cheat, but would hopefully calm it somewhat.
 
Well, it will always be a competition, and as long as there are things like sponsors and national pride/pressure, there will be always someone training and pushing his health to the limits, and eventually cave in and meet the dodgy character in the back alley of the medical research lab.

As things are going, I'd say by 2010 the shorter sprinting events should be timed with milliseconds taken oficialy into account.

In the same way that Michael Johnson had an incredible running style which enabled him to piss his way to victory every time.

The 100m sprints at these games have just been extraordinary
 
Absolutely amazing. Can't wait for the 200m, and with three Jamaican sprinters running under 10 seconds I would imagine the 100m relay is thiers for the taking too.

According to Mike Parry one day the best will cut it down to 1 second :D

He's a mad scouser though and probably watches Battlestar Gallactica a lot.

Great, great, great performance.

I'd like to see Bolt run a whole 100 meters one day, that'd be something else entirely and 9.5 might be possible.

Never thought I'd see that in my lifetime but I may do :cool:.
