Crazy...the guy almost looked bored with the whole thing while he was running :wink:

Only a couple of hours until the final...after the build up it's almost a shame that it's over so quickly...now what does that remind me of :lol:

yeah... I thought he would have lunged on the line... I reckon he'd have made it. Why would you not?

This is the bint who was grizzling about "drug cheats" months prior to the olympics.

Having seen her race, I can attest that other athletes potentially taking drugs is the least of her worries.

After looking around he seemed to stop trying for the last 3 or 4 strides...if anyone had really been on his tail I reckon he'd would have had an even quicker time...awsome.

Simply fantastic...The Blue Ribbon event of the Olympics !

The mind games and chest beating pre-race, to the after race winners lap, and more chest beating is just fantastic....

How good is it to see the USA not win it also :D

Did I hear them say on the commentary that he's only 21? If that's the case, the world record is going to come down a whole lot more over the next few years!

I'd love to see him run through the full 100m. I reckon he could go close to knocking off at least another .1

They were never going to win with Stevie Wonder running for them :lol:

To be fair our lot just interviewed him and he did seem genuinely happy for Bolt.

Do you think they realize just how gay those gold trainers look?


Trust the bloody Kiwi's to score when no one was looking though :roll:
