Yes, it was closer than 2008.... but Bolt still just blew away the competition. Does Bolt have another olympics in him?
 
100m final was a great race, definitely lived up to its billing. It was good to see Richards-Ross grab a gold also. Looking forward to the rest of the races coming up

Late 20's or 30. But Gatlin has run the fastest time for a 30 year old. Maurice Greene won bronze in 2004 when he was 30 not too longer after a motorcycle injury. But Usain is a freak so I expect him to stay around this level if he takes care of himself, can't see him improving much though.

So Asafa Powell has ran he most sub 10's in history and competed in 3 Olympics, but has not won an individual medal? :smh:

I'm no expert either. But his start obviously doesn't look as pretty as Yohan Blake's. Maybe because' he's so tall and it always ends up looking awkward. Pretty sure his team has been working on it. It should be less of an issue in the 200m because he has more ground to make up for it. I remember Shawn Crawford's start was :x he would wobble out of the blocks for like 5 seconds and then end up winning the race :lol:.

What is this joke on Twitter where people are saying Asafa Powell saw his dad in the crowd and stopped? I don't get it. *scratches head*
