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.
