This is most true, no effort in last 60m of race and still ran 10 summit

I also thought of the dog.

He is just taking the piss so far...

I hope that's all he's taking...

Why can nobody be really very good at their sport without bitter people questioning whether they are doing it by fair means...

Because we'd all cheat if we could?

Would we?

Are you saying I'm bitter?

ooo 2035 tonight is the final on BBC2 (I think) going to be a corker!

He's going to go under 9.65

9.89 and he was just jogging!!!

Controversial DQ.

Nowt controversial, he jumped the gun.

The US dude was up level at the very latest though.

i reckon that a wr is on!!!

I reckon 9.5 something.

yep i agree!!!go

9.58 and he eased up.

HAHAHA AWESOME!!!!!

Lol at the fat photographer sprinting to get a photo as he's winding down! Awesome..

That man is ludicrous.

Mental. Didn't look like he go the best start either....not seen a replay yet...

....actually it was pretty good, lol

I lol'd at that photographer too.

Please let him be clean. If he is, that's superb, simply superb.

There's a stain on Jamaican athletics at the moment, and I really do hope he isn't tainted by that.

A pleasure to watch.

what stain would that be cfh?

[i]what stain would that be cfh? [/i]

Issues/controversy over the testing protocols of the Jamaican Anti-Doping Agency. Can't remember the details of it but there was a big article in the Times about it the other week.

Extraordinary.

How gutted would you be to come back from groin injury, run 9.71, and come second..?

does anyone think that usain could go under 9.50!!!i think that he is a clean athlete.i just love the guy's attitude(and the kleins weren't bad either!!!)

the guy is a machine. 😯 😯

****, I don't care if he's on drugs...if I get to see a run like that every time he runs a major championship, he can be on whatever he wants

I would love to see what record he would set in zero wind resistance and himself running flat out.. probably bloody amazing, you gotta admire this man.

I for one hope he's clean. For all his flashness he always seems to have time to do autographs. I can't remember which UK sprinter did some training with him back in Jamaica but he said it was the hardest most intense training he's ever done.

Really blown away by that. I could not believe that was the correct time when he crosed over the line! The guy is unreal. The best thing to happen to sprinting ever IMO

You have to see how the female pole vaulter, Yelena Gadzhievna Isinbaeva does it & how she handles things.

In her case, see comes good at major Grand Prix meetings, and vaults 1cm higher, one big event at a time.

£$£$£$£$£$.
Bonus money. Not just from the meet, but more importantly, from his sponsors.
Look left, see the time, ease back. You're home with a new WR, yet more importantly, you leave yourself room for better times to come.
In reality, he screwed up by about 1 meter!
Bizarre to say, I know, but 9:68-ish would have been just fine.
Not so easy to do, this "just everso slightly edge the performance envelope" - easier to do it in the pole vault me thinks!

If you look back at all the 100m WR runs, it's taken about 100 years to knock 1 second off the World Record.

As long as he stays the right side of any doping and continues to grow he will be invincible beyond any other althelete in modern times. Something to really both savour and look forward to.

Amazing athlete and records and he's only 22! His best is yet to come. If he races all the way to the line in perfect conditions he could smash the record again.

Like everyone else, I just hope he is clean and not another Ben Johnson!

He's touting that he thinks 9.40 is in his reach 🙂

absolutely awesome - saw him on TG as well, very down to earth too!

The incredible thing is that 10s, which used to be considered as the world class benchmark is now as far away from the world record as 10.25s was just over 10 years ago - and even then that wouldn't even get you beyond the first round in a global competition - or even qualify you for a championships in most countries.

aye - he has just made a lot of other sprinters careers look a bit obsolete !

I'm very dubious. I'd love him to be clean but i feel that the reality is that it's impossible to compete at the very highest level without "assistance" let alone run sub 9.9 at a canter as he did in the semis.
Just my opinion but I'd doubt that there was a 100% clean athlete in the final.

What I like is that his relaxed confidence is not in your face tough style with thousand yard stare. Look at the start of 100's now and it's different from the bare chested hardman thing that was more like boxers. In fact he's made that period look a bit silly in style and quality of running. Also have you noticed his lack of muscle bulk compared to some of his rivals. The man is superb.

Yep, I like his style. The American sprinters went through that arrogant phase that was uncomfortable to watch.
He seems like a great bloke, just hope he isn't taking anything illegal.

Hi biggest problem is that if he never has anyone else challenging him, constantly on his shoulder then he will never achieve his full potential. He needs someone else who can put the scarers on him.

so what do you reckon he'll do for the 200?

19.2ish

hows that for a prediction.

nice one Goan.what an awesome athlete!!!

just how fast can he go?

I reckon sub 19 in the 200m & sub 9 in the 100m

Just a shame he might never run the full distance.

Sub 19 in the 200. Yes.

Not sub 9 in the 100m.
As mentioned, it's taken almost 100 years in althletics, of training, and technology and research to bring the 100m time down from 10.60 to 9.58, so to shave another 0.59 off that time is not possible in our life-time.

Unless it's in the women's event 😉
