Just a freak of nature, that was the best race of all time essentially with Tyson Gay running a 9.71 and Bolt running a truly ridiculous 9.58 and I don't know if it's going to get much better then that for Bolt. 9.58 is what they projected he would get if he kept running in Beijing using his turnover rate multiplied by the number of strides. Ludicrous stuff as I repeated last year only to be rebutted by the VERY ignorant Bilbo, Bolt is THE MAN. The best athlete on the planet no doubt about it.

Technology has greatly contributed, the dawn of computer age makes the sport more competitive and at the competition is at the highest level, they can draw simulation and create a realistic scenario to beat any standing record.
Second is the advent of Sports medicine, Sports Nutritionist and Dietician. They played the role on how to boost stamina, endurance and reduce easy fatiguability. They make any human being super human in our standards.

of all the records surely this one has a limit to how low it can go ?!?
The record has fallen by roughly a second in the last 100 years. So in 400 years people will be running it in 5.5 seconds :-\
Bolt reckons he can do 9.4 before he is finished.
just checked online and seen that Florence Griffith-Joyner still holds the female record of 10.49 (by .16 of a second to second ever highest) that she set in 88. That has to be drugs...
And incidentally the second best time ever by a woman is Marion Jones also a druggie. After that the best time is 10.73.
Gay ran what would be an ATG time in 9.71 which in itself is fucking amazing. That's the best ever in history by .08 if Usain Bolt never exist and .08 is a pretty significant margin. 9.71 is .03 less then what Bolt did in Beijing.
For track's last 50 years at least the shorter stockier guys have been lended to the 100m dash. IMO if this record does fall it's to another guy who's 6'4 or above again. It's simply physically impossible for anyone else to turn their legs over fast enough to make up for the time Bolt is gaining, being 6'4 and having faster turnover then the shorter guys. Fucking unbelievable if this guy becomes a great starter it's all over. Have to feel bad for Gay and also Asafa Powell who finally came out and ran a great race on a big stage and was upended.
I know H follows track and maybe knew about him before me as he was an underachiever at 200m but it is amazing how this guy Bolt has just come out of absolutely nowhere to become the most dominant athlete in sports. I think he went to Beijing having ran less then 10 times in the 100m.
The reason he ran that fast? If you had this chasin you, you'd be motoring too!

I have to say though, it's a good time and all but I'm not really sure why the hundred meters has such a prestigious reputation as the greatest athletic acheivement.
I mean there are other events that are many times more demanding, and require far more from an athlete and also we are one of the slowest land mammals on earth so what really is the appeal?
Even the fastest sprinter on earth still gets humbled by any random dog, horse, deer, etc, probably even a big lumbering rhino could catch Bolt.
Any truly great physical test shouldn't be all over inside 10 seconds. That's not even a warm up.
Just googled, a greyhound can go under 5.3 seconds :-\
They would also slaughter a human over every distance up to 10 miles, and other breeds of dogs could slaughter us in endurance events beyond that.
There ain't an animal alive that can beat me in chess though :cool:
Usain Bolt ran at 40 mph to break his previous world record. You might think that's good but if he hits a child there's an 80% chance she'll die.
you got that right. from the wiki article...Quote:

btw, 1988 was not her first Olympics.
Also I remember seeing pre 1988 pictures of her, and the difference in the musculature of her thighs was dramatic.
Bilbo mate do a little bit of reading on ATP-CP/Lactose Energy systems muscular power/elastic strength and sprinting technique and then knock the 100 metres... ;)Quote:

And bilbo most other mammals are lousy over long distances... how ever fast they are becomes irelevant because they can't sweat to control body heat, over prolounged peroids of excertion if they don't stop this causes them to sort of... die :p
(basically what I'm saying is stick your greyhound up your arse)
Well even if that was true, (which it isn't African wild dogs can maintain a speed of 35 mph for over 3 milles and back in medieval times mounted knights would ride horses for 60 miles a day on good terrain)' then why arn't the long distance events given greater prestige as then we are actually performing better than the majority of the animal kingdom unlike the 100 meters where we are pitiful?Quote:

Anyway I'm only being argumentative for Amat's sake..
Bilbo you're the only fag worried about how fast animals run. Instead of watching boxing you should begin to watch dogfighting and instead of boxing and maybe Jack Hannah instead of the Olympics.
And why did I neg rep you? Because you are always wrong. Go click the Bolt thread on the bottom of the page, go look how consistently wrong you were and how right on I was. I brought u the suits which are now BANNED in water and you still argued ignorantly. Go look seriously and if you're still feeling lucky maybe we can talk about Carl Froch.
