man, didn't even looked like he was trying hard

Yes, yes, Usain Bolt. Whatevs.

BTW the time Bolt ran, 19.32, is the same time Michael Johnson ran in 1996 when he shredded his own world record in the 200 meters, and ran like hell the whole way.

I really want to know what he'd be capable of if he A) gets off to a great start, *and* B) just ran flat out the whole race.

Wow....

Joe_diGriz: B) just ran flat out the whole race.

Well in at the world championship in 09 he ran 19.19 in the 200 going flat out the whole way. I want to see him run the 400.

Joe_diGriz: I really want to know what he'd be capable of if he A) gets off to a great start, *and* B) just ran flat out the whole race.

Maybe he can't.

rka: Maybe he can't.

He can, he's done it in the past.

TheManofPA: Heck, I'd like to see him to the decathalon just to see if he'd be bad at anything in T&F

heh if he took up the long jump I'm sure he could just annihilate the world record.

Is Bob Costas trying to be the next Harry Potter?

TheManofPA: With all that extra energy, I'm surprised he isn't in the 4X400 (unless he is in the finals group). My guess for not running the 400 is it would tire him in the 100 and 200

What? Run a race he might stand a chance of losing? Not for Usain Bolt!

BTW if Bolt ran the 400, which he actually used to run, I'm sure he could destroy the current world record for 43.18 and get under 43.00.

WhyteRaven74: heh if he took up the long jump I'm sure he could just annihilate the world record.

Yea. Given his speed, long stride, and ability to just generate power when he needs it, I'm not sure he wouldn't jump past the sand pit.

FTFY

TheManofPA: My guess for not running the 400 is it would tire him in the 100 and 200

Wouldn't wear him out also at the Olympics there's more than enough time between heats.

tudorgurl: What? Run a race he might stand a chance of losing? Not for Usain Bolt!

The 400 would be like the 100 and 200, just more so.

Bolt's 200m time just now comes out to a little over 23 miles an hour. Jesus.

TheManofPA: With all that extra energy, I'm surprised he isn't in the 4X400 (unless he is in the finals group). My guess for not running the 400 is it would tire him in the 100 and 200

Of note, Jamaica and Kenya both didn't qualify for the 4x400 final. Not sure is spoilers.

WhyteRaven74: rka: Maybe he can't.

He can, he's done it in the past.

Then why are people saying they want to know what he'd be capable of?

We know. He's done it. Look to the past.

Probably the next time we see him push it will be when he starts coming in 2nd or 3rd as father time catches up with him.

Joe_diGriz: I'm not sure he wouldn't jump past the sand pit.

Well I'm not sure he could go that far, but I wouldn't be the least surprised to see him go right past 30'.

Also as for the comments about his personality, best way to put it is that Bolt is the anti-Carl Lewis.

Selector: Bolt's 200m time just now comes out to a little over 23 miles an hour. Jesus.

The Kenyan who won gold earlier was running a 3 minute 40 sec mile based on his time. Holy hell!

Oh, and as long as am spoiling. American Mitchell ran the 4x400m relay with broken leg

"I got out pretty slow, but I picked it up and when I got to the 100-metre mark it felt weird. As soon as I took the first step past the 200-metrr mark, I felt it break. I heard it. I even put out a little war cry, but the crowd was so loud you couldn't hear it," Mitchell said.

"I knew if I finished strong we could still get it (the baton) around. I saw Josh Mance motioning me in for me to hand it off to him, which lifted me. I didn't want to let those three guys down, or the team down, so I just ran on it. It hurt so bad."

Selector: Bolt's 200m time just now comes out to a little over 23 miles an hour. Jesus.

Consider this, his world record in the 100 is 9.58, twice that is 19.16, and he's run 19.19 in the 200. When he first broke the 200m world record it was actually less than double his time in the 100.

rka: Probably the next time we see him push it will be when he starts coming in 2nd or 3rd as father time catches up with him.

Next year's world championship. I think he just wanted to get the double in the Olympics over with and wasn't going to worry about the actual times. Next year, he may well just floor it again.

BTW what happened to the S. African team and their protest in the relay earlier today? Do they get a chance to run after the Kenyan took out the runner?

I want to see Crazy Legs run again!

No, he wasn't. You can't extrapolate like that in track events...doesn't work that way. Still pretty amazing though.

rka: Then why are people saying they want to know what he'd be capable of?

For me personally, it's because I don't really pay enough attention to track and field outside of the Olympics and a few events here and there. So I'm not really aware of what Bolt has done elsewhere for the most part, outside of setting ridiculous records.

They got a reprieve - their protest was upheld and they're in. Blade Runner lives to run another day.

USA DECATHLON GOLD!

Jeez, I can run a 4:22 1500. Shoulda been a decathlete. :/

SURE HE DID! MATH TOLD ME SO!

tudorgurl: a 3 minute 40 sec mile based on his time

for a frame of reference, the world record in the mile is 3:43.13. And was set 13 years ago. I dare say it's definitely in danger of being broken at this point given what happened in the 800.

TheManofPA: I didn't see them air yet, but I've seen all related spoilers to it anyhow. I'm surprised with all the stories involved in the heats that it hasn't aired yet.

NBC mentioned it earlier.

Ed 'Too Tall' Jones: Selector: It's interesting to me that more unusually tall people like bolt don't compete in (running) track events. It would seem that they'd be really good at it, considering stride length and all, especially for sprinters.

In this country, a guy that big and fast would have a football in his hands by the time he hit middle school. Not as much glory in track as in other countries.

not really, stop fooling yourself... a lot of people with long legs while have longer strides are slower in rotation BUT Bolt is one of those very rare human being that has both the stride and quick physiology of a sprinter which is why he is what he is. This is why long distance folks are usually tall lanky types with long legs but sprinters are shorter muscular type. Shorter legs also builds up power and speed much faster.. like 1st gear compared to say 5th gear in automobile speak. Bolt being the genetic freak has both!

it's just kinematics.

The reason being that that 1:40 he ran was him winding it out. Going for broke. Using all his gas. If he had to run another 800m, it probably would have taken him three minutes or more.

DamnYankees: So do these 2 Americans hate each other? They didnt even congratulate each other.

Yes they did! They just showed it.
