He's an amazing athlete.

It has now been rounded down to 9.63.
I remember when Linford Cristie set the new world record, it was 9.95. looking at the times, even the Dutch guy in 6th posted a 9.94!
Asapha Powell didn't look too healthy though, and I don't mean the ill advised goatee either....
NT was saying earlier, it would be interesting to graph the 'metres of long jump' against the 'seconds of 100m' and watch the two numbers converging. Wonder if they'll ever meet!
There must be a point at which 100m just cannot be run faster, without surgically lengthened legs.
I wouldnt be suprised if he crossed the line faster this time than the showboat WR, its such small fractions of seconds.
Ooops I seem rather good at not making my point very well recentlyErr, he didn't.
Even with the slightly slower start I'd have thought he would have been able to cancel out the time he lost showboating in 2008 (he stopped trying after about 60 meters for crying out loud!), so to me, he was certainly slower overall this time, even though it was only fractions of a second.
Ooops I seem rather good at not making my point very well recentlyWhat Id meant was that with his relatively slow start this time and really gunning for it rather than saluting the crowd, despite his time being a teeny bit slower I wondered if the actual speed he was travelling when he crossed the line might have been higher than 2008.
getting worried about the 2024 Olympics now...
Just hoping Team GB's gold medal haul doesn't take a dive 12 years after hosting the Games in the way the Aussies have done.
