Usain Bolt 200m Watch
- Thread starter anything about now
- Start date
I feel privileged to have witnessed such a performance.
Absolutely stunning from Usain Bolt.

His 100m is unreal, just fecking unreal.
Michael Johnson knew his record would be broken one day, i'm sure he's happy it was done by someone as competant as Bolt.
And finally he gave it his all today, should satisfy some of the moaners

what did he do??
here we go
A spastic?
feck me if he hadn't just thought he'd won an olympic bronze medal. Anyone would go mental, and quite rightly too!!!
What did he actually do, I had to switch off after I saw him so elated and heard he was disqualified yet hadn't realised yet. I didn't want to see him shatter.
One of his feet stepped on the line separating the lanes.
He just did mate.

It could only ever have be broken by someone very special, which Bolt it. No one had even got near to Johnsons record of 19.32 until today.
The only thing that worries me about Bolt's performances, other than them being incredible, is the performances of the rest of the Jamaican runners.
They had a one-two-three in the Women's 100m and about five minutes ago a Jamaican woman won the 400m hurdles in a new olympic record.
mmm....

that was some performance by bolt there
respect

So was he disqualified?
He has to be the best 100 and 200m sprinter, ever. I've not seen anything like it in my lifetime. Truly amazing.
what a man
Yeah I think so, bronze medal seems to have gone to Shawn Crawford, although he has the option to appeal.
fecking hell
Usain Bolt of Jamaica reacts after breaking the world record.
Best two moments of the Olympics and I get to read them here on the Cafe.........thanks NBC, you cnuts.
I mean like go down in history as the best of all time ever in the history of the world, type ever.
*spoilers*
he started dancing after the 200m and the crowd roared. i dont think ive ever felt this excited watching the Olympics.
Amazing performance.
Did not think I would see Johnsons record broken.

As long as he doesn't let the success get to his head, and sweep the medals again in London, he will definitely go down as the best ever in my eyes.
He is just so damn fast. What a record breaker.
fecking hell. Never seen anything like that. That was unreal.
The undoubted star of these olympics for me. Never thought Johnson's record would be broken.
And I've had to watch the replays on youtube. The yank TV coverage is beyond pathetic. How the feck can they not show the main events live??
Must be busy showing soft-fecking-ball.

Was the American TV coverage the same when the likes of Maurice Greene and further back Michael Johnson were dominating?
do you really need to ask that?????
whats next for him? set a PROPER wr in the 100m? hurdles? 400m? seriously, ive never known anyone who has done what he has, at the age of 21!
personally, i wouldnt be surprised if he went into the 400m, he's young, and his body will undoubtedly grow and fill out...

he already is, he's made the wr in 200m beyond reach for the rest, and in the next big meet, i wouldnt be surprised if he did the same to the 100m
I guess not.
But it's pretty ridiculous that such a major event would be overlooked, simply because an American athlete didn't stand a chance of winning.
After all, they still had Crawford, Dix, Spearman who were all Silver/Bronze medal prospects. Doesn't quite send the right message out.
91,000 people sang happy birthday to him after the race as he's 22 tomorrow
Absolutely brilliant.And into a head wind to.Can see him beating his own records.
What a race to witness live. Truly great athlete.
He could not have dominated more this Olympics. Has done absolutely everything right.
Legend.
Cheat
Legend. Easily the best sprinter I've seen. He has the perfect build for the 400 too - tall, powerful and lean.
I don't find him cocky. His clowning to the cameras and the crowd are just about having fun. What he actually says seems respectful.
As for the USA TV coverage, it's terrible. I think they need to realise that in the age of the internet they have to show things live. Delayed broadcasts are not the way to go.
