Usain!

Well done Bolt...

[Britcan]

Bolt! Bolt! Bolt!

A Jamaican 1&2. It's a shame about Gatlin getting a medal, he doesn't even deserve to compete.

[Rubiconic Crossings V2 rev 1f]

heh...I never doubted Bolt would slay the field...

[Mesoland]

Bolt! Bolt! Bolt!

A Jamaican 1&2. It's a shame about Gatlin getting a medal, he doesn't even deserve to compete.

If Tyson Gay had timed his lean slightly better, he'd have been the bronze medal winner. In the words of Michael Johnson, he "robbed himself" of a medal.

[Charlotte Ryberg]

heh...I never doubted Bolt would slay the field...

But he certainly held on to improve his Olympic Record. He still retains control of both, which is amazing.

[Costa Fiero]

Valerie Adams was left off the list to compete in the shotput. Perhaps the British didn't want her winning another gold medal.

[Glasgia]

BOLT!!!!!!!!

I haven't got a clue what happened to the IOC guy.

From the looks of it he pulled something.

Tlking about pulling muscles, a real shame for Powell. He got a decent start but then something went.

Bolt! Bolt! Bolt!

They showed that on bbc and you could see the foot that claimed bronze, while Gay's lean was too late for it to make any difference.

I'm going to leave you guys with a question to debate: should Bolt use a standing start? His main weakness is that he always starts slowly. Being taller, Bolt takes longer to get off the blocks and into his stride. A standing start would help him get those huge legs pumping from the gun and possibly into world record times.

BBC reporter, 5 minutes before the final - "I reckon he can get a 9.64."

[Britcan]

Blake talks even faster than he runs.

Stunning race...given its the 2d fastest time ever. And that Bolt is like 100ft tall

Yeah, see the question at the end of my post. CBA to write it again.

The illuminati... they have arrived

[TaQud]

Well done Bolt...

agreed

He wasn't just any old reporter. It was the great Colin Jackson who made that prediction!

I've always liked Jackson...I have an lot of time for the guy. Not only for his knowledge but the way he carries himself. He knows what he's about.

His reaction to Bolt in the race was so funny. "The big man, the big man!"

Not sure what you mean about world records as he already is the world record holder with a 9:58...

I loved watching the footage from yesterday as well...when Mo won his gold...they went nuts...

I quite like Mo as well. He looked really choked during his medal ceremony....so much emotion in these Olympics. Never seen anything like it...

Mo's my favourite out of our medal-winning athletes. I don't know why, I just seem to like him.

No, just really no.

The blocks allow the athletes to put more force horizontally than a standing start where more of it is lost vertically.

Bolt might get into his full stride sooner, but he'd be traveling significantly slower and take longer to hit his top speed.
