He was Mr Relaxed too. Unbelievable running from him. I liked the photographers trying to keep up with him when he was "jogging" to slow down......

...on the way back up!
Usain Bolt
He never runs to the line.
...he did last night
...but he had more competition this time round with Tyson Gay running, who ran 9.71secs but looked a couple of yards off Bolt as he crossed the line

Bolt still looked round though. He can run a 9.4 I reckon. To put it into perspective see how much you can do in 10 seconds.

Man Utd fan
To be fair, he does live nearer than many a Man U fan and he's been to more Man U games than most (he's been to one hasn't he)
Usain Bolt
It was a stunning display capped by some fine British performances notably in the Heptathalon.
The USA is reeling under the onslaught of Jamacian sprinters on their dominance of the men and women's sprint events which is very amusing.

Simply awesome last night wasn't it? I loved it in the semi as well when he ran to the front, looked round, ran one more stride properly, then just coasted over the line... in 9.89.
You had to feel for Gay as well - running 9.71 and being that far behind must be gutting!

Is this the same Man United who have sold out every away game since the start of the prem ?

Over 1 second has been knocked-off the 100m in just under a century

Does that mean that in 900 years they'll be finishing before they've started (or have I misunderstood the concept of extrapolation)?

My point is that yes they have a lot of out of town fans but all sucessful clubs do. I remember all the Liverpool shirts around Brentford estates in the 70's. Whenever i have been in Manchester it is mainly red i see. No Coat lived there and says the same. The majority of their away support are locals and to sell out every game is no mean feat ( Barca and Madrid don't ). I think the "all United fans live in the home counties " mantra is rubbish.

we'll be teleporting ourselves around by then
I won't, I'm likely to be fossil fuel by then.

It will still take you 3 hours to get home from my place though.
I took a gentle walk through the long grass and floated the rest of the way on tranquil breeze.
I could become some great fossil fuel.

Good man Nick, but you miss a couple of points - The first, one of taking the mick. Not all scousers are tea leaves but it's good to wind them up about it. Not all sweaties are tight but it's good to wind them up.
A lot of Man U's support (home and away) actually comes from Manchester but a hell ofa lot more comes from nowhere near there. That's because (or maybe why) they are a big/the biggest club in the world. I would say a significantly higher percentage of Man Citys support is from or around Manchester
The other point is that, whether you like it or not, Man U do have a lot of supporters from the South East, the South West or wherever and many of them dont go. It grates me to see coaches heading up from, say Torquay or Hereford to Old Trafford when their local clubs would dearly love their support.
Anyway mate, there is only one team that counts. See you tonight.

its not really a skill is it running not like football or golf or most other sports, he just bombs it for 9 seconds and thats it

If he "just bombs it" for 9 seconds, he would probably only get about 85 meteres down the track.
There is an art to starting. and art to the pick up, an art to driving in the middle of the race, an art to maintaining optimum speed for the maximum distance and an art to dipping.

the majority of people can play football, play golf, play cricket etc..............but very few can run 100 meters in under 10 seconds, let alone 9.58.... Bolt has a talent, he's exceptional at sprinting,

Who's the dummy?
Usain Bolt
Imagine it - the bloke held up as the saviour of track and field finishes it off completely.
For some reason, I believe he's genuine but I thought that about Marion Jones too.

Surely not!Perhaps it's about time they bought in handicapping for races, but I guess that UK athletes have had this done to them for years.
Usain Bolt
After Bolt won the 100m Colin Jackson looked up how many points he would have scored for that time in the decathlon.
To earn that many points in the 400m he would have to run 42 seconds.
It will be interesting to see if he does go up to the 400m because that one hurts. I hope he has the hunger to move up to the longer distance.
He is a joy to watch and I do hope that he isnt on any performance enhancing drugs.
Usain Bolt
And Bolt has knocked just under two tenths of a second off the world record in the last four years!

Judging by his behaviour immediately before the race, he could do with the occasional dose of ritalin, or perhaps an early night without any tea and television.

:grey: Ben Johnson does not fall into the 'I thought he was for real' category.
I don't remember Greene being done.

No doubt the Yanks will desperately be trying to find any evidence of any drug misuse amongst the Jamacians including Bolt.
They will not take kindly to being displaced as the worlds' sprint champions in such humiliating style.

Usain Bolt has received rave reviews on TV and in our San Francisco press. Caribbean track stars are frequently seen in the States and many have attended US universities so many of them are familiar figures in the US track world.
