    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.

    you got that right. from the wiki article...

    Before the 1988 season, Griffith Joyner's best 100 meter time was 10.96 seconds. In 1988 she improved that by 0.47 seconds, a time that no one has approached since. Similarly, her pre-1988 best at 200 meters was 21.96. In 1988 she improved that by 0.62 seconds to 21.34...

    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.
