This is why sports science can never be ‘an exact’ science and sometimes thing happen that cannot be foreseen or determined in the lab.

Bolt defies evolution. 15 years ago, with the increments going down in the small hundreths this sort of time - 9.58 would not have been expected in our life time.

Crazy as it may seem - could there be more potential Bolts being reared in Jamaica as we speak ready to take it to another level again?

After experiencing the the thrill of watching last night’s run- I certainly hope so!

Thanks for the splits!

I’m doubtful as to whether Bolt can break 19s for the 200m. After the OG last year we were talking about him having been able to run under 9.6 if he hadn’t slowed in the 100m. So, in theory, the time ran yesterday could be the time he was capable of last year too. Then, in the OG 200m he was all out to break MJs record. So, I’m not sure if he can really go much faster in the 200m this year…a world record, possibly, but I don’t think under 19s.

However, to see him go under 19 would be amazing, just like yesterday was.

He has Gay to push him this time. He ran into a headwind when he broke the 200m WR. As long as he is healthy and fresh he will make it look quite easy to go under 19sec. I reckon if he has all under control and a bit of luck (wind) he will go 18.82-18.87 sec.

3 days to go…

The 200m is going to be sick, especially if we see sub 19! The 4x100m should be just as good. Anybody think sub 37 is possible? Will we see the same line up as laster year or will somebody else stand in for Nesta, it probably won’t matter with the level Bolt and Powell are at right now.

I’ve just heard a rumour that Bolt is competing in the 4x400 as well?!?! Now that would be an interesting split!

we heard that rumour in beijing as well
