    at 9.58 secs...that is simply out of this world.I really wonder if the world can ever have a faster runner....closest to him was Tyson Gay at 9.71...phenomenal!!!!

    I saw this funny post of youtube

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gt4XtSEGTI

    I think it comedically represents the actual fact.

    God thats alot to knock off the 100m


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,582 ✭✭✭✭TheZohanS


    So Bolt ran a World Record with Gay running behind him...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,473 ✭✭✭Adamcp898


    Probably would have done that at the olympics if he hadn't jogged the last 10m


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    Guess a Bolt of lightening comes faster than the Gay guy.

    I'll grab my coat on the way out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,919 ✭✭✭Schism


    Odds are he'll run faster again. This guy is quite simply a beast.

    Pfffft,

    Now, I'm no expert, but I'm 100% sure I'm at least 6 times faster than him. It's science.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    If he used a car he'd probably do it even faster.

    You can be guaranteed he gets tested more often than everyone else. He just seems to be a genetic freak who was born to be the best sprinter in the world.

    he much taller then all the other guys


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 57,365 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    For starters, I believe he is clean, but one must know that he and the other
    Jamaican athletes are NOT subject to the same rules that many
    other athletes from many other countries are subject to.

    It is only when Bolt leaves Jamaica is he subject to
    unnoticed testing. There is no official drug testing program and they
    have not signed up to the rigorous testing protocols
    that other countries signed up for.

    Also, tested many times means jack sh!t. They well could be
    using drugs whilst in Jamaica and know that the chances of being
    caught whilst there is virtually nil. When they leave, they are tested.

    It's well known that the drugs cheats and companies often are a step ahead
    of the testers. It's a battle at the end of the day and even tested athletes may well
    be getting negative results due to the testing technology not being
    up to the job. Below says it all really. The playing field is
    not equal and until it is, then I will be wary and an asterisk is needed!

    Shortly after the Olympics, retired American sprinter Carl Lewis claimed that the absence of stringent no-notice testing in Jamaica raised questions about the performances.

    "I think there are some issues," said Lewis. "I'm proud of America right now because we have the best random and most comprehensive drug testing program. Countries like Jamaica do not have a random program, so they can go months without being tested. I'm not saying anyone is on anything, but everyone needs to be on a level playing field."

    Earlier this month, Bolt said he was "tested all the time" but that there was room for improvement in Jamaican drug-testing.

    If he used a car he'd probably do it even faster.

    He was on Top Gear a couple of weeks ago, and proved to be one of the fastest drivers they've ever had in their Chevrolet.

    Arrogant because he smiles, laughs, interacts with the crowd, has confidence, is congratulatory to his opponents?:rolleyes:

    Remember what the great Ali said: "It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am".

    Bolt is a breath of fresh air in a sporting world that needs a bit of bloody charisma....

    You need to know what to look for in a drug test.

    It happened before that they commisioned a scientist to design a novel steroid. Then once invented they tested samples for this "completely new" drug. Guess what?

    This drug was found in many samples, meaning it had been used for ages before anyone even knew it existed. Then you have things like injecting loads of red blood cells into someone's blood so it'll carry more oxygen.

    I have 0 faith in the fairness of international athletics.

    Blood packing , as its called, has long since been abandoned as a practise because its relatively easy to spot once you know what to look for (burst capilliaries and high blood pressure) and is also extremely dangerous to the athlete due to the massive increase in blood pressure. (you are, after all, packing another pint into a body that is already full!).

    I dont believe Bolt is on drugs and I think the will break 9.5...

    As great as he is, I agree, there will be others who will be better and break records.
    I think folks are getting too carried a way claiming that the records will never be broken.
    The world is a big place with many people and possibly many future Bolt's, mini Bolt;s now!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,518 ✭✭✭✭dudara


    It's great to see an athlete with his personality and attitude and watching him yesterday was just jaw-dropping. The BBC showed the reactions of Michael Johnson, Carl Jackson and Denise Lewis as they watched him, and they were equally stunned.

    If you think he has an ego problem, just think about the huge self-belief required to run that fast.

    BTW, where can I get me a pair of these?

    Pffft. That's nothing.

    I once did a hundred metres in a pair of wellies.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,661 ✭✭✭General Zod


    I don't believe Bolt is cheating.

    What's more, I really don't want to believe bolt is cheating. what he is doing in incredible, a testament to what the human body can do, and not just him, 5 people ran under 9.8 seconds.
