Jeez this guy has broken yet another record. First he defied the trainers that say if you are over 6' 2" you cannot make it as a sprinter. He has set his sights on the 200m record where he needs to beat a certain Usain Bolt who has the world record. Yeah he actually hold both the 100m and 200m records.
Usain Bolt 100m in 9.58 secs
- Thread starter pwill
- Start date
Well he can always break his own record can he? He runs the 200m tomorrow so he can try and slice his own record. This guy is amazing, covering the 100m in something like 40 strides, all he has to do is get an explosive start.
But i don't think anybody else can break his records. Not for years and years to come.
To me he's superhuman, in a totally different league! Tyson Gay ran a brilliant race, but it just wasn't good enough.

yeah it was amazing! i think he slowed slightly the last 5 metres or so! i think he could get 9.55 but thats about it it was pretty much flat out. felt sorry for tyson gay running a p.b and not getting a look in. i thought asafa powell would have run faster considering his ridiculous heat where he switched of at about 50 metres and narrowly scraped third!
Not a chance
Just like Michael Johnson’s 200m record wouldn’t be beaten for a lifetime? Or what about his 400m record? Bolt might take that too and Johnson was meant to be a super human freak of nature 10 years ago.
The 200m final is today but it looks as though Bolt will not be going for the record. I watched him qualify and he looked like he was just going for a leisurely stroll. The absence of any serious competition - Tyson Gay is the reigning world champ but withdrew due to injury, means Bolt will just stroll home.
There is some controversy over some South African runner who by some accounts has both male and female "equipment". The running authorities are going to test "her" and see whether she is a woman, but what if she is both a man and a woman?

Yea i second that!
Yeah, I agree, he'll stroll home in about 19.25
You didn't tell us your bird was an athlete BigT!
Ha ha. I always thought BigT was sheepish. On a this athlete might actually be a hermaphrodite.
It would have been good to have seen Bolt vs Johnson in the 200m. There is an interesting discussion based on Micheal Johnson's comments here.
It's impossible - and unfair IMO - to compare champions from different eras. Johnson dominated the 90's and Bolt is dominating the 00s and I suspect the 10's and 20's.
Different era? Johnson was an Olympic champion in this decade too
