Usain Bolt watch
- Thread starter zing
- Start date
Phenomenal. I've never seen someone slow down so much to make sure they don't beat the record.
With Powell and Gay out, even a sub-par Bolt should be comfortable today.
Semi final in 5 mins.
Dwain Chambers is out. Disqualified.
Bit harsh on Dwain. Twitches are common in the blocks and the starter should take a common-sense approach.
Usain Bolt taking the piss. Easy win.
Bolt jogs over the line at 10.05sec
Final at 12:45
Will he break the record?
Will he break the record?
Probably, something between 9.50 and 9.57 methinks.
With his teammate Blake pushing him he just might do it.
is the final on british tv?
Yes, Channel 4 and British Euro sport.
Thanks
On in 10 minutes. Definately worth a watch.
9.52, I guess.
He can easily beat the record if he goes flat out. Not sure he will though. Maybe London2012 in his mind ?
Here we go...
What a crap rule
False start ! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!
Bolt looks out!
Unbelievable !
In the end its proven the only person who can stop the lightning Bolt is Usain himself.
9.92... by some guy.
Can't believe it. Bolt, what were you thinking !?
Can't believe it. Bolt, what were you thinking !?
Gold for his teammate Blake 9.92secs
fecking hell what an anti-climax.Just turned this on.....where are the top 3 guys?
I'm shocked. Wow
Bolt looked absolutely devastated.
like they said - he should have at least tried to protest
This may well be the end of the new false start rule, before it's even really begun
You want the stars there
You want the stars there
I know, Atheltics needs star power right now. Usain Bolt single handedly dragged it back into the spotlight and he needs to be there.
I don't know why they changed it
Yes, the two false starts for each person was unworkable, but the one for the whole field and then everyone was on a warning seemed to work well
But hey, they arent allowed false starts in swimming are they

Protest wouldn't have helped. I can understand the rule, but the result is sad.
Indeed. No protest whatsoever from Bolt. I would have fecking stayed on the track and fought my corner.
Pointless
Be like Fletcher refusing to leave the field when he got that red card against Arsenal
So what is the new rule? You can't false start at all?
Amazing, disappointed.
Yep. Earlier today, in the semis, Chambers false started just for moving a bit. He didn't even get out before everyone, but he was out, just like that.
not really - if he could convince them that the crowd hadn't settled or camera flashes set him off they could have let him stay on - it's happened before and being the main man, they'd be more likely to let him continue
