Both really, but yeah huge steps He takes 3 steps less to finish than all the others.

His acceleration was actually not that good that run. He was pretty behind until 50m but then his top speed just cruised him through.

no way he goes under 9.40 on those conditions, even his coach said that in order to go under 9.50 he'd need perfect conditions.

Uh do you realize that's really unlikely that he'll ever go under 9.50 ? He already needs perfect condition to reach his WR, which btw is absurdly fast.. Maybe he could run under 9.56-9.55, but under 9.5 ? Wait for the 2 or 3 next sprinter generation imo lol.

I hope Asafa Powell brings his A game because I really thought he would be the one to contest Usain Bolt in the 100m.


Jamaican are probably going to destroy the US in the relay, Blake + Bolt combo is pretty good when you're other 2runners were under the 10s this year...

Wtf seriously? I mean this maybe THE event of the Olympics......

Yeah, notice how there's barely any comments from Americans here even though there were three American runners in the race. They only show the premier events in prime time on delay here even though everyone already knows the results.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man

He was slow off the mark, but his acceleration is still pretty good for a big guy.

edit: But yeah that run wasn't his finest start.

What about Nesta Carter? Guy has recorded 5th fastest time ever, he seems to only be at London 2012 for the 4x100m which seems strange, did he go out in semi/heats or something?

Because Gatlin used drugs. Even if he is clean now, he's still "bearing the fruit" of the drugs, atleast to some extent. Plus Gay seems to be a really nice guy, and he have a faster personal best. That's why he deserved the bronze more.

Powell pulling up must be a concern, but I think if he's able to compete there isn't much chance for the US outside of the Jamaican team dropping it, and that would be a freak occurrence.

Great night for Athletics. Somewhat ruined by Gatlin getting a medal. Shame he didn't pull a hamstring instead of Powell. The Olympics goes on about fighting against doping and then let these cheats compete. IOC needs to stop pussyfooting around.
