CHAMBERS 10,00 ??? what’s wrong? 6,42 then 10,00 ???
Bolt’s time was ridiculous, he looks like he has more in him.
Disappointed in Chambers though.
badman
that’s all there is but apparently you need 10 characters.
It’s very tough to go under with that level of separation. Makes staying relaxed a tough task.
Charlie any coment on 9.58? What could be 60m split?
What about the front runners? Any comments Charlie? Something looked odd around 30 m for Bolt, like he let go of a weight.
When running his PB of 9.97 Chambers split 6.41, so 10.00 off a 6.42 sounds about right.
I think we will see some amazing 10m splits from 30-70m mark!
The German study group will have the splits soon according to PJ. Bolt was out front right away just like in Beijing so we can expect crazy times all through. Will be interested to see how the race breaks down cause if the track really is softer then I’d expect the more of the improvement in the top speed section although some over the first 30.
God help to 200m! If he isn’t completely wiped and the weather cooperates, he’ll be way under 19 IMO. The old models would indicate 19.08 to 18.68 from his 100m time but I’d go with the faster number in his case.

He knows Gay is going to hunt him down and leave everything he has on the track in the 200m. I reckon even being tired from the 100m Bolt will run under 19 sec. He is pumped so much to do that, I can not see him slowing down now.
thanks robin1
I doubt he’ll be wiped out based on his past history, if wind/weather is fair, the world record is GONE.
I guess that’s what he usually does, but why is that? Is it because he just has terrible speed endurance? In the SPP download CF said that a 6.55 in indoor 60m was like a 10.05 or something in 100, so he should definitely be able to go 9.9 or under right?
The more heavily muscled you are, the more your splits will favor initial acceleration BUT never forget where he just ran that 10.00 and how many sub tens were far behind him in this pressure-cooker meet.
