London 2012 - Track & Field/Athletics

[The Taurean]

he will get a 9.7 easily.

 

[Drifter]

Bolt looked good there

 

[I_live_cement]

Yeah, Bolt's gonna win the final.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

That was so easy.

 

[Cheesy]

Bolt's just unreal.

 

[eric le roi]

lol, he jogged the last 20m

 

[Badunk]

I bet 99% of the people who watched that race have a huge grin on their faces right now

 

[Sam]

That's even funnier on second viewing. He wasn't even jogging

 

[Jaz]

Why say so if you don't mind me asking?

Because he, unlike Chambers, really didn't think he did anything wrong the first time.

 

[anything about now]

Basically what he does is accelerate hard for the first 3-4 seconds, then just relax and let his body take over. He could have been smoking a blunt as he jogged past that line.

 

[Cheesy]

He just strolls to it. Didn't even look like he was trying.

 

[Sam]

I bet 99% of the people who watched that race have a huge grin on their faces right now

I cant stop laughing

 

[Levo]

Poor Chambers, ran a good race but chasing Bolt must be depressing.

 

[Hallucinogen]

That's true, that man is just an amazing athlete.

 

[Cheesy]

Chambers face.

 

[B20]

He's been banned twice for doping. Shouldn't really be there.

Only once, isn't it?

He served a four year ban. He's paid he's due, I'd say.

 

[Hallucinogen]

I wonder how other athletes feel, going as fast as they can and Bolt is jogging out there for the last 20.fecking hell.

 

[Sam]

Honest question, has Bolt ever gone flat out for a full race?

 

[Sam]

Only once, isn't it?

He served a four year ban. He's paid he's due, I'd say.

Nah. Lifetime ban for me, for anyone who gets caught.

Right, come on Gemili!

 

[I_live_cement]

Honest question, has Bolt ever gone flat out for a full race?

When he broke the 200m record he didn't ease up at the end.

 

[kps88]

Why not just run the race properly? Surely running for an extra 3 seconds at the end won't destroy you.

 

[Hallucinogen]

Honest question, has Bolt ever gone flat out for a full race?

If you see that Bolt doesn't even adhere to the diet and other routines strictly enough that can improve him even further it just gets more ridiculous.

 

[Levo]

Only once, isn't it?

He served a four year ban. He's paid he's due, I'd say.

He's been banned twice, the first one he appealed due to it being a prescription medicine or something.

Got reinstated early.

 

[Sam]

When he broke the 200m record he didn't ease up at the end.

True say, was thinking about the 100 meters, totally for got about the 200

 

[Badunk]

Just realised Christophe Lemaitre isn't involved in this. Quick google says he's focusing on the 200m.

 

[crappycraperson]

Let's hope Bolt has had enough chicken nuggets tonight.

Racist

 

[Hallucinogen]

Why not just run the race properly? Surely running for an extra 3 seconds at the end won't destroy you.

Save up for the final, he's a showman.

 

[Levo]

Set's himself up to do something amazing for the final.

 

[Drifter]

Hope Gemili qualifies.

 

[Badunk]

Come on, the Blue Sq. Premiership!

 

[McLovin]

True say, was thinking about the 100 meters, totally for got about the 200

The 9.58 was flat out.

 

[Jaz]

Haha at the Shushers

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Hope Gemili qualifies.

This has been a great experience for him no matter what.

 

[Levo]

Blake at a canter at the end as well.

 

[ha_rooney]

Blake finished strong.

GB lad did well.

 

[Drifter]

9.85

 

[Hallucinogen]

fecking hell even Blake slowed down, the final will be one cracking affair.

 

[Sam]

feck that was a strong finish from Gemili. Strong start and he could have made the final.

 

[phelans shorts]

Blake was jogging, and went quicker.

This could be some final.

 

[Badunk]

3rd for GB! Well done.
