TYSON GAY 9.77 EASING UP 3M/ Travis padgett 9.89

Thats good, you also didnt see bolt running 9.72. hes a world class sprinter and one of the best in the world anything is possible on any given nite.

That performance was probably more impressive then bolt wr sprint.

Was the early dip a result of his stumble recovery? Looks really odd.

kind of hard to tell tyson gay shut-down but from the arms i’d say he begin it at about 85m. Sometimes his legs look kind of wicked and raggedy when he shuts down/coasts in.

Yep i agree Gay gave us a good 85-90m yesterday.

Looks like Gay is hitting top speed faster than the others. Could this indicate he’s didn’t even reach his top speed in that race?

30m - 3.85
60m - 6.39
80m - 8.05
100m - 9.77

he hit .82? wow!

looks like about a 9.75 without the ease up over the last 10m (.88, possible .86?)

Dat is the first Time i seen him runing when he is not chaseing so he prob was more relax which made him run faster;)

Look at the field when you asess things. Tyson was .84 80 to 90 and .88 from 90 to 100. If he stayed on the gas he’d prob get .85 to .86 for the final segment. Give him .85 and you have 9.74. Give him .84 and you get 9.73.
When Bolt ran the record he was well in front of Tyson and Tyson was far in front of the rest.
That’s not to say that there won’t be a record here if the conditions hold up as they have been. With multi round preparation and the feeling from Tyson’s comment that he couldn’t get going in heat one, his tone might still be moving into the ideal range for the semis.
If conditions are ideal in the semi, he might go for it there. If not, he’d prob wait for the final to let it hang out.

9.85 with 2.2m for Tyson, Dix is next fastest overall with 9.93.

9.68 wow!!!

i knew it, i said it yesterday.

Tom Hammond is horrible-never call a race a w.r. UNTIL you know the wind reading-stick with horse racing, Tom .

+4.1!!! wind

i wish gay would have ran the full 100m yesterday.

Fastest overall 100m race ever :smiley:

Can we get some splits on this race just for the fun of it? Any 0.79s?

  • Tyson Gay’s winning time of 9.68 (+4.1mps) is the fastest time ever run in the 100m under any conditions. Obadele Thompson of Barbados had run 9.69 (>+5) in 1996.

how bout that Doc Patton too? damn
