Was anybody else as stunned as myself at the margin of victory and sheer ease with which he ran a new WR??

The margin reminded me of the Ben Jonhson days. Powell's facial expression in his post race interview was one of absolute disbelief.

100 metres travelled from a standing start in 9.69 seconds!

badgerface123

You've got to be kidding? Jamaican me laugh....

Awesome race. I don't agree with Johnson's comments about 'Micheal who?' when comparing one gold of Bolt with 7 of Phelps.

I reckon he can do low 9's the way he eased up is definately worth a few tenths. Just hope he is clean

what would scooby do

The more times you break records the better financially

i hope he's clean too, but you've got to wonder with the way he just shot away and the rest were quite evenly matched, reminded me of one of the female athletes a while ago that was done for drugs, they showed replays of some of her races and they looked just like this with everyone else quite close and her a mile down the road.

Also the attitude of a lot of the athletes around dwain chambers on course when he was trying to get selected suggests to me that many of them use the drugs and he was seen as unlucky or just not careful enough to get caught. I did some work with an american sportswear manufacturer and one of the guys was telling me its a pretty open secret that the NBA and NFL players are all maxed out on stuff but its become accepted, obviously thats not olympics but you wonder

The Dogs B******s

Infracted for that

darts_aint_sport

It's a shame that it's come to this, but when an Olympian outperforms the rest of the field by so much (in any physical discipline), drugs is one of the first considerations. Are the winners always drug-tested, or is it luck of the draw?

Tam the bam

Unbelievable eh! Still we should be safe now as the spineless dribbling mong is probably out keying the cars of people who have upset them today, as it's getting dark.

JRFRACE

As i understand it the one of the problems with drug cheating is you could test him and he would be clean, the drug use takes place in off season training to improve and perfect the human skeleton and muscle beyond what is naturally possible. This is why they have off season 'random' testing but with planning supposedly it is possible to simply lay out the drug regime to avoid it.

I believe there also is or used to be a window in which the testing would ot occur of a month or a couple of months which was basically an invitation for anyone to do all their drug muscle work then, and then train normally for the rest of the time.

Should leave them to it, drugs or whatever, who cares, I would be interested to see it drop under 5 seconds !

Notice how its all Black Guys, us white fellas just aren't fast enough, genetically, at this level the differences practically rule us out, or is that me being racist ?

mart360

Stunning race to watch, and as much as i wish him all credit & success,

I hope it was gained naturally, it would be such a shame to find this one go wrong.

i recon sub 9 seconds is on the cards

8.9 by the seasons end.

did anyone hear michael johnsons commens in the studio after. He said he didnt think there was anyone faster unless they lived in the jungle!! imagine if a white guy had said that

Amazing stuff, that's gotta be annoying for the others. Without doubt the best display of 100m I've seen, celebrating with 15m to go is just rubbing it in And he wasn't even going to run the 100m as 200m is his race (looking forward to that)

Yes, there would be major agro, when in fact that comment was to do with someone not yet having come to light rather than a racial slur, but these days, rather than let it go it would have been the end of a career.

scoobytyson

Will be good to see if he can get near to johnsons 200m world record (19.32) later on in the week

SJ_Skyline

You don't see many black people swimming at the olympics. Higher bone density according to the Mrs who used to swim competitively. So no, not racist in the least.

My mate told my other mate who's black that it was down to blacks not having an Achilles heel..... when my mate then pointed to his asking what it was he soon shut up.
