LOL 9.58 for Bolt!

[Kev]

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.

What did I do?

And why did you neg rep today for a post that was over a year old?

Has it been on your mind all that time?

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

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...

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

(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?

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.

Amat, a hobbit is never wrong, he is only misunderstood.

mate it is true, other animals can't sweat, there's a few exceptions to the rule like hippos (though they sweat oils to act like sun cream, not regulate temperature) but in general they can't. This means that they can't sustain periods of prolonged exertion (the exertion is obviously relative to the animal's size and strength though, have you seen the stride a horse gets? They're not exactly natures weakest runners a half marathon would be like a full marathon if you were a hobbit)

Maybe these african dogs are an exception but why in general do you think dogs pant so much, stick there tongues out/whipe out a whole entire water bowl after an WALK?

That's how we used to catch them, (as you've observed most of them are faster than us/navigate rough terrain better than us)... we'd out last them during a hunt.

But to answer your athletics question I believe that both events get about the same prestige... it's a lot easier to watch a 10 second race than it is a 2 hour one. Speed is something direct that you can see and talk about in the pub etc... if you were in the pub what exactly would you say about a marathon? And like you say, we're naturally better over distances than other species... so it's not really a major talking point is it?

Nobody brags about being better at maths than a monkey...

There's a monkey trail at edinborough zoo now...
