Usain Bolt sets new world record in the 200m
 

He just destroyed his own world record for the 200m...

It was previously 19.30 seconds from last year's Olympics...

He just ran a 19.19, shaving 0.11 seconds off the record, exactly the same amount he shaved off the 100m record a few days ago...

Someone needs to check this guy for circuit boards and wires...

the most amazing thing was how the 20 second mark was barely scratched until michael johnson, who was head and shoulders above the rest. then suddenly bolt comes out of nowhere and beats an already amazing record. the mid 19s were completely skipped.

Maybe they need to do a sex check on him/her/it

He shouldn't not be breaking his records by so much.... should just milk it by going .3 under every time lol

(I understand that's easier said than done)

Um... no.

The first 100m is from a stop.

The second 100m is with a flying start.

They can't sprint all out for the full 200m.

man, this guy is crazy. Wonder if he's on steroids

if he keeps this up, hes gonna wreck a trainload of M3s!!! Poor, poor M3s.............

i remember during the olympics they interviewed michael johnson if he thinks that bolt will be able to break his 200m record. this was already after bolt won gold in the 100m.

he flat out said no, he doesn't think so.

i mean wouldn't a more humble answer be, "well, if anyone's gonna do it, it would be him"

it's michael johnson. are you really surpised?

nope which was why i was really glad he did break the record at the olympics

crazy, i wonder if people will acuse him of using steroids since he's already won two

This guy should come to Vancouver for 2010. He'd make a great bobsledder.

this guy is nuts

i was going to say "aside from acceleration" but i figured that was mostly irrelivant.

the fact is, hes going flat outfor 200m.

i dont think most 200m sprinters are sub 10 second 100m sprinters. and i dont think most 100m sprinters can even do 200m.

In track and field - the question of steroids will always come up now. Too many people have ruined for the legit athletes..who have to think that Bolt is getting tested almost daily.

FOr instance, that Priscilla Lopez or whatever her name is for Canada who won the silver in the 100M hurdles, she got tested shortly before her silver medal performance...i hope he's getting tested and what we are all witnessing is based on god given talent...this guy is sick.

^^ usain was tested immediately, and came up clean. he's come up clean every test. that doesn't mean jack shit, cuz look at that american woman who was tested clean for all those years, but was really using steroids. uhhm... marion jones i think.

but i *HOPE* he's clean -- the guy doesn't seem to be a dick.

They won't "accuse" him of using steroids, but they certainly wonder if he is, but there has been absolutely no reason to believe he is at this point. He's probably been tested hundreds of times by now. His coaches have publically stated that there is no way in hell he's used illegal substances. Unless Jamaica someone has a magic undetectable steroid formula that nobody else in the world knows about, I'm thinking it's pretty unlikely Bolt is on any banned substances.

No, he isn't going flat out for 200m.

Here is a breakdown of his race: http://speedendurance.com/2009/08/21...eed-endurance/

And I think you're wrong about the 100m vs 200m sprinters too. I think there are a good number of sprinters who compete in both 100m and 200m just like Bolt

I think one of the major factors of his success is that he's super tall. He also has a good coaching team. His coach has had multiple runners in the finals so far. Some of the guys he's racing against in the finals are trained by the same coach.

THe other crazy thing I found out is that he went sub 20 seconds on the 200m when he was still in Highschool. Now that's fucking crazy!

He is the next generation of athletes. Just look at him. He is bigger than all the other runners. It is just evolution guys... and he came out a little early. :)
