Forums - General - Usain Bolt hits 30MPH and sets a new 100M WR!

Okay...this guy is simply amazing...he's been a track and field prodigy since a boy...and he jsut keeps getting better!  He jsut simply outclasses the field...even as good as they are...Gay delivers 9.71 and Powell 9.84...and they are still a couples of strides behind him...WOW!

He pisses me off big time.
He never looks like he's trying, looks like he's just cruising along. I think he can do better, and put a bit more effort in.



Holy fucking shit!

Holy fucking shit is right...the guys is getting better...his start was good, but it didn't look as clean as it could have been.  A cleaner more efficient start ofcourse means you can transition to top speed faster...I think he can take it down to sub 9.5 sec...He has 3 years to work on his start, to maximize his REAL advantage...acceleration.

I find amazing that Tyson Gay thought he could beat him...you can't, it's easy. Just face it, not Gay nor Powell are in his league.

It was a given that he'd beat the WR, in the Olympics he beat it celebrating in the last meters, with the speed loss that that implies.

Congrats to him

In all fairness to Gay...he ran an incredible race himself...9.71 is an amazing time...but he's in a position like all those players in the NBA were during the Jordan era...as good as you are...you're never going to reach the guy at the top.  From a genetic standpoint, Bolt is simply a freak...He's 6'4" and has a LONG stride...he's simply going to be too hard for any sprinter to match stride for stride. over the last 20M...Bolt was starting to separate from the field...not the other way around...simple amazing.

Now he is technically the faster runner ever.



Kimi wa ne tashika ni ano toki watashi no soba ni ita

Itsudatte itsudatte itsudatte

Sugu yoko de waratteita

Nakushitemo torimodosu kimi wo

I will never leave you

The guy is a beast.



i love how in the Olympics he was celebrating before he crossed the line
