Usain Bolt (and the IAAF games)

[Rocksuperstar]

Imagine the next time - Bolt runs even quicker and, whilst celebrating with a flag around his shoulders and doing a lap of honour, he accidentally breaks the 1,500m record too :up:

 

[deselina]

they said sprinters should be stocky and short, but now that thunder bolt came around, that theory goes through the window lol.

Tony Gardner could've given him a run for his money :up:

actually, if my addled memory serves, wasn't he the fastest guy in the squad til Lennon came along? :think:

i actually thought it was Ledley, and was for a while after Lennon's arrival, but probably isnt now due to his knee problems.

Nah, if it was anyone, it was TG - when he was a kid he used to compete in sprints and athletics but was given the choice so decided to try out football instead and never went back. From what i recall, he was very, very quick, then you put a ball at his feet and he lost 50% of his pace :shrug:

Guess it all comes down to technique at that speed.

 

[kcmei]

he is doing the 200m now

 

[werty]

Confortably through. Looks knackered.

None of the sprinters in the 100 were stocky or short. Guess that theory went out the window ages ago.

 

[deselina]

maybe they just look short because they're stocky?

 

[Rocksuperstar]

Haha! and now there's a man running in the womens 800m :lol:

 

[Bobishism]

maybe they just look short because they're stocky?

Maybe because they're running against a guy thats only a few inches shorter than Crouch!

 

[werty]

That's the greatest run I've ever seen in my life!

19.19!!

 

[chrissivad]

that was fantastic...just wow

 

[haxman]

Freak. Just a freak.

 

[werty]

The high jump is great too. You could hear a pin drop when the German is jumping.

The hurdles was a great race as well

 

[nidge]

19.19 secs in the 200m final. Just incredible.

 

[Rocksuperstar]

He'd destroyed them all by the first bend. He's just unreal. :bow:

Ok, they tested for drugs and now they've done a gender-test on that South African fella, wouldn't be surprised if they put Bolt through a species test. He's got to be part gazelle or something :shrug:

 

[chrissivad]

The drugs tests for everyone in the 100m all came back negative, has the gender-testresult came back yet?

 

[werty]

They think the gender test results will take weeks, even months, to come back.

Anyone know who won the high jump?

 

[hans]

that german was hot :hump:
