Usain Bolt run 200m Final in 1 hour

[Temo]

Guess his time. WR is 19.30

 

[zrinkill]

Buehler does that in his sleep.

 

[Temo]

Calling 19.32

I win by default, apparantly.

 

[joseephuss]

19.19 is what he came in at. New record. Wow!

Yea, this dude is just sick. Just days removed from his 100m race, having run like 7 races in the past 7 days.

For reference, it takes most sprinters 3 days to a week to fully recover from a world-record 100m sprint. To go and run a 200m world record just a few days after... Endurance, speed, and recovery time. Just ridiculous.

 

[zrinkill]

The guy really is amazing ....

I hope he is not on something ..... he is almost Superhuman.

 

[Bonecrusher#31]

I hope he is not on something ......

Uh Oh ..........

I think I could run the 200m in under 1 hour...

 

[QT]

He's pretty cocky too. I just read the article. More power to him...

19.19 200m

That's 2 9.6 100m runs, faster than anyone in the world except him has ever run a single 100m. Bolt is simply amazing, a completely different level than anyone else. He can be as cocky as he wants if he can put up times like that.

Heh, I posted this before the race. Should probably change the thread title

You know I was thinking about that exact same thing. I realize that the distance is longer, so it's harder to be in an all out sprint for 200m, but you only have to start once... i.e. the slowest part of the 100m is coming out of the blocks. He gets a running start on the second 100m. I guess that's why he didn't "shatter" the record in the 200m like he did in the 100m. He could probably do better if he could sprint at 100% for 200m.

Yeah, I knew what you meant. Just wanted to lay my claim to fame that I can beat Usain Bolt in a race. :laugh1:

Did you hear the guy on espn breaking how fast his 40yard time would be? He said Bolt took off the blocks and would have gotten a 3.8 40...

That is sickening.

Can he catch a football?

 

[Temo]

Americans... sporting achievements are only memborable if they come with football-based context

Not going to say it's not a possibility. But at this point, I don't care. If he's taking something, then everyone else is too. That's how drugs in Track and Field work.
