19.19 . wow.
Ummm. Thanks.
TDF all over again.
corrected the title…sorry about that.
and a slight headwind…incredible.
Did Gay pull out with injury or because he knew he would lose? Bolts is just on a different level than the other guys at this point.
Ummm. Thanks.
TDF all over again.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhh
Please, I can do this in my sleep…
wow can’t wait to see what he runs in kona… thats under 68 minutes for the marathon…
One intersting thing is he is not even wearing a super tight skinsuit. His jersey is at least somewhat loose, in the same way a normal cycling road jersey is loose compared to a TT skinsuit. He is running an average of something like 24 mph, so minor things like clothing should make a difference. So with zero wind and a tighter more aero suit I like to think he can go sub 19. That would be sweet.
Just watched it again, and he needs to glue his number on too!
interesting. Full results. He typically is a slow starter, but he sure got out of the blocks quick today.

i think he can run much faster with some dimpled clothing
.
Tyson didn’t run the rounds and has been battling injury. I love it how people brush of Tyson’s 9.71 like it happens all the time. Great run by Bolt.

Not to mention the post race interview. He was a very very gracious second place (I hate to say loser, because clearly Bolt comes from another Galaxy).
I bet you Semenya will beat Bolt once he/she gets the chance to run with the boys
