Bolt Just Ran A 9:58!

[BmoreRav]

Did anyone just watch the 100M World Final??

Tyson Gay ran a 9:71 which is a US National Record and he didn't even come close to Bolt!

WOW

Let's not get started on this again...

People are always tantalized by speed. Great accomplishment, I just hope he's clean; you can never tell in this day and age..

yeah, same with the swimming

[Purple Punishment]

if i did my math right it would be a 3.7-3.9 40yd

He would probably outrun the football being thrown to him. Im sure Al Davis has a spot for him on the Raiders

[Ed_Reed_Pick_Six]

He's something else, let's hope for the sake of athletics he's clean.

The funny thing is Bolt hasn't got a great start, he never gets off the blocks as quick as the majority of the other sprinters in the race but as soon as his head is up and he's in full stride it's game over.

If he can improve his start I believe he could break that record again and maybe even break into the 9.4's. He's that good!!

[JoeFlax]

I wonder if he can catch a football.. hmm maybe he's the big play making receiver we need

[ravens27]

He is one fast dude.

[BloodRaven]

Remember Justin Gatlin? former record holder? all the speed in the world couldnt even get him a roster spot...

Anyways, if you watch the footage, Gay has a faster stride cadence but Bolts stride is just too long.

[RavenRage92]

The guy is crazy good, i watched him in the olympics and if he didnt show off he could of shattered that record, but this new record is just insane.

Wonder just how fast he really can go.

[Slim]

He said he could run it in 9.45 !!! that would be insane especially since the scientists said that the human limit is 9.50

How did they come up with that figure? Surely, limitations can't be placed on top speed, without any way of telling what improved training methods/supplements/equipment etc could be devised in coming years.

I would love to see 9.45 though!!!

[BmoreRav]

Today Bolt smashed the 200m world record with a time of 19:20 even though he was fatigued! This man is a machine.

[fanofthesports]

How many times has this guy broken his own record

[SaVaGe]

Can't read the news without hearing Phelps or Bolt have broken another record.

[/quote]

He's broken the 100m Record 3 times (so he's broken his own record twice), and I believe that's the second time he's broken the 200m record.

So in all, he's set 5 WRs, and broken his own 3 times.

Not only that but both records this week are over 10/100ths of a second faster than the previous records! Unbelievable.

I think they were both 0.11 seconds faster. Weird.

[FerrariFan87]

Yeah, a 19.19 200M is absolutely insane...

[YYZ66]

I couldn't think of a better name than Bolt for someone that fast!

[BloodRaven]

I feel sorry for Tyson Gay, 2nd fastest man ever and likely forgotten in 10 years time.
