He didn't even try all the way.

you just copied what Michael J had said on BBC about 250 times in the last few hours.

[okgo]

Jeez, thats fast..

[tomTVR]

That was crazy. He slowed down at the end - he could have had a few more tenths if he had powered home!

Nope I am and have been watching Eurosport HD. Doesnt take a genius to work out that he might dip under 9.7 now does it.

I think he won't be having any more sprints in the next few years. No worthy competition

[Lordbenny]

So why did he slow down 10 metres from the end? His time could have been 9:5 if he'd pushed to the line!

It's about winning and not records.

He's a monster.

[jbudgie]

Might make a bit of money each time he sets a new world record so will spread them out a bit.

[johnzo]

Yeah, he was fast, but a 335d "remapped" would be faster!!!

He'll do a faster record when he's paid for it - no prize money in the Olympics but very significant record money in some of the invitation meets.

Jamaica for the 4x100?

He's a genetic mutant.

All the top athletes are freaks, that's what gives them the ability to get to the top.
