looks like he might have taken down the world age group records for his age. Would i like to see the look on obea moore’s face!!!
HOLY SHIT!!!:o
do u have a link for the results?
I guess the [i’m dumb] thing was lost in the upgrade.
All forum members who have always wanted to let the expletives fly on the forum, here’s your chance!
Usain is crazy fast.
Also at the Highschool champs. Tesfa Latty ran 10.24(1.1 wind).
In this picture I’m posting, Tesfa Latty is the one In the middle. This meet was ran at the National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica.
I’m so Proud to be Jamaican 
Here’s a pic of Usain from last yrs World Juniors. At this pt. he was only running mere 20.5’s/20.6’s!
hes 6’5"
im guessing this contradicts the overall hypothesis that taller runners see imrpvement quicker than shorter ones.
i want to be that tall but more for basketball purposes. So i can still be tall and still be fast thats reassuring.
Results will be available when the timing crew returns to the US April 7th:

Thanks Tom!
WOW :o
how does that dude train?!
Anyone know his records in 60m and 100 m?
heres a post that somone made somewhere else that will give everyone insight on how special this kid really is…
Before champs 2003, all the experts said Bolt could not beat Gonzales over the 400M, because he would never put in the work to have the kind of background to run a low 45 plus race he would need to beat JG.
I certainly agreed with the theory until I saw Bolt’s 200M heats (20.81) and Semi finals (21.2). The man/child was merely jogging and was posting those fantastic times. A lot of us realized then, that Bolt would underachieve if he ran less than a low 45 plus.
Conditions for the 400M race
There was little or no wind, but the track was very wet, because rain had just stopped a couple of races before. In fact, the CIII 400M were run before the rain abated.
I am sure all the the runners were running in wet socks,spikes etc. These semm to be less than ideal conditions.
I hope Franno, Hubert etc will tell us if the conditions (wind,wet spikes,socks) were ideal or less than ideal for running fast times.
The 400M Race
Bolt was drawn in lane 6, JG in 4 and Myers in 3
As soon as the race begun, we knew that Bolt wanted this race even more than the WJG 200M title. I guess he was tired of being told he would never beat JG over 400M.
That easy relaxed jogging style, took him further and further away from the field, and at 280M, had a big lead. JG and Myers tried to respond and regrettably JG pulled.
Bolt then went into his drive phase half expecting to be challenged by JG. At 360M, he took a quick look around and realized he was all alone. HE THEN SHUT OFF THE ENGINE and started his celebration.
That race made believers off all the doubters of Bolt’s 400M prowess. Not one person in the stadium believed that a healthy JG could have beaten him. If Bolt had run through the tape, he would have run mid 44’s.
This race however, was not about setting records , this race was about accepting the challenge and putting the doubters in their place.
The 200M Race
This race in contrast, was not about winning. That was never in doubt.
This one was about giving the spectators something to talk about and throwing out the old record book.
The tall one, running again out of lane 6, covered the guys in front of him quickly and went all out. There was no “easing up” here. The “chosen one” ran all the way throught the tape, the first time I have ever seen Bolt do this. The stadium was in shock. Again, the foreign coaches had their hands on their heads. The exhibition of medium and long sprinting was a wonder to be hold.
Michael Johnson should be having nightmares!
the results are on http://www.issa.org.jm go to the track and field link.The kid looked like he good have gone faster in both the 200 meters and the 400 meters.
I would like to see Darrel Brown and Usain Bolt put on a show in the 100!!! A match of the century between two of the greatest junior sprinters in history!!!
