Anybody into Track & Field?
Could be the greatest 100 metres in history. Usain Bolt has just run a new world record 9.72, Tyson Gay (World Champion @ 100mm & 200mm) ran the fastest time in history 9.68 (wind assisted) at the weekend and Asafa Powell was world record holder until 2 weeks ago @ 9.74
I'm think Tyson Gay will win it!!
Yea im into track and field used to do track and field back in high school. As for those times incredible just incredible but Michael Johnson at 400m was the greatest runner i've ever seen.Quote:

And a special shout out to their doctors for so far having their illegally assisted drugs going undetected!
I love that name it's like his parents knowing he would get beaten up at school for his surname tried to minimise the damage by giving him the hardest and meanest first name they could think of!Quote:

I don't follow it, but watching Donovan Bailey b1tch-stomp Michael Johnson was great. That was one of the more poorly faked injury I have seen.
Donovan Bailey and Ben Johnson.
That is all.
Do you mean Michael Johnson? Ben Johnson was caught using steroids.Quote:

I think his 200m record is even more impressive 19.32 :oQuote:

Yes I am. I've been a fan of Gay since he was at LSU that's when I really got into track.
Usain Bolt just looks like a phenom though, has there ever been a runner with such long legs that was so good in the first 50 meters? I mean it's unbelievable the starts he gets. I watched the qualifier where he ran against Powell last weekend and again was just blown away and this is a guy who has less then 10 meets at 100 meters and he's doing this! It's ridiculous, I'm a big Gay guy (Rick Majerus shout out), but it's hard not to like Bolt.
And then of course Asafah Powell. Who would have thought at this time last year that Asafah Powell would be almost an afterthought here? But momentum is definitely not on his side here.
I'm super excited for the 100 meters I can not wait.
On the womens side I think Hooker takes it. Hopefully for America Gay and Hooker take home gold to create the funniest newspaper headlines of all time.
I think Athletics the power events, gives Drugs a bad name ;D
No kidding; that'll be funny as sh#t:DQuote:

Love the Olympics - fuck darwin this is evolution at it's best baby.
All those god luvin son's a bitches who think evolution is a crock need to look at the way records in track and field are broken over and over. And i'm not talking about the evolution of drugs (they are a godsend too;)) but the legit records getting beat over and over through time.
