Haha I’m 5’7.5 shut up
He’s rediculously thick though. Have you ever met him?
why last race of the season?
it was the major meet of the winter and waiting for summer i ran at the nationals but didnt make it to the finals some stupid refs,so i am waiting for summer
well asafa has to loosen up a bit
why is Asafa straining so much to run 9.97? i know he’s waiting to peak in August but that has nothing to do with why he’s so tense in this race. does anyone have the video? maybe he got a bad start and thought he had to play catch up?
He’s prob scared of Gay because he knows he’s only got the world lead for about 1 more hour.
Easy there Mortac(as well as OffTheBlocks), he most definitely is still under some volume/load of some type, be it(Spec.E,Weights,Starts) or good combination of all 3, preventing him from hitting the fast times he wants to peak for, during WC. As well it was his first competitive race at distances he can actually excel in.
Once he starts running his true speed work-outs (horst hilla type 80-150) he’ll be flying faster than we’ve seen him before, seeing it the start of the new trifecta.
Have you seen the results from Reebok? Asafa is scared. He had a cakewalk to WC and Olympic gold with no one in his atmosphere…now Gay is coming for him and he’s worried. Imagine how he feels. Prob feels like Ato felt when Mo showed up.
fletto what do you know about his training right now? What are they doing?
analyze this. Clearly NBC does not know the difference btw MPS and MPH nor do they know Oba ran 9.69. Hopefully they will know they should televise the race tomorrow.
===========
Gay won the men’s 100 in 9.76 seconds at the Reebok Grand Prix on Saturday night, but the wind was at 2.2 mph, slightly more than the allowable margin of 2.0.
“I had a bad feeling,” the American said. “In the blocks I was pretty sure the wind was high. It had calmed down a bit, but not enough.”
APTyson Gay, left, won the men’s 100-meter dash with a wind-aided time of 9.76 seconds.
Asafa Powell of Jamaica holds the world record in the men’s 100 at 9.77.
Gay bolted from the blocks and powered past the field with the wind at his back. Two weeks earlier, he ran a 9.79 at the Adidas Track Classic – which would have tied the American record, but that wind was at 2.5.
“I don’t run to chase world records,” Gay said. “I’m not frustrated at all, I’m just happy to win the race.”

Gay HAS to peak during the Trials, this month?
Safa does’nt (necessarily) has to peak when he has his trials. Maybe he won’t even compete. The goal for him is to win Osaka. If he’s running fast again all season like last time…
Last year he was also straining a couple of times and few weeks later… 9.77
gays the man but still no legal sub 9.8
asafa’s done it three times, he’ll be ready
