He just ran a 9.58 second 100m at the World Championships in Berlin.

Do you reckon this guy is legit, or do you reckon he's tanked up on steroids and all the rest?

At that level they test them constantly. Unless he's on something they can't detect, I'd say he's clean.

Well he did clearly slow up at the Olympics so this is understandable.  Still pretty amazing though

If you notice he's remarkably taller than the rest of the runners. The reason he's so fast is because he's been able to use his height to a great advantage with his running style, something that can't be easily done, but he can do it, and he can do it well.

Mmmm. His build is perfect. Tall but built like a brick which means each foot comes down quicker because of his weight.

I went to a physical therapy place where they work on Bolt, for me hamstring and wrist.

Now the next important question, how long will it be before somebody beats his records?  I think it will be a very long time, especially considering the massive (.13s) lead he has on one of the top sprinters in the world.

Probably quite awhile. The thing is, he can still go faster than that. You know he'll beat this record.

He said he can run 9.4

So I guess he will just keep breaking his own records.

The US economy is a giant Ponzi scheme. And 'to big to fail' is code speak for 'niahnahniahniahnah 99 percenters'

9.4...that's mental. I don't think 9secs will be broken, ever.

I think below 9 seconds is beyond the capability of the natural human body.  With enhancements and everything, maybe possible but even so I'd say its very unlikely anyone will ever do it.

they said someone of Bolt's height could never run as fast as he does. i think they, tall runners, will get pretty damned close to 9 seconds.

I remember an interview where they said that especially tall athletes struggle with their stride patterns but Bolt seems to have nailed it.

You have to feel sorry for Asafa Powell to set a new national record of 9.71 and still be fucked off big style by Bolt

I don't like the guy, i respect his as an athlete but he shows off too much. I want someone to beat him to wipe the smile off his face.
