Italian stallion clearing it up it's the clavicle and not the foot...sounds dumb

Totally assumed it was breaking the plane like in every sport

According to Mike Tirico in the studio, by rule, the winner is decided by whose torso crosses the line first. Lyles got it with that last lean at the end.

I always heard torso, which I thought to be your waist. Apparently not.

When do we get the official times

I have told like 40 black people about him saying that **** about only being Italian and every one of them thought I was making it up

Everyone under 10 is insane. But this is what makes Bolt an absolute alien cause that man was running sub 9.7 like nothing in his prime.

As the years go on, the more it feels like Bolts record is like Wilts 100 , never gonna be broken

7 of the 8 going sub 9.9 is unheard of

If we are at the point where we the entire field is doing sub-10, is it the track that they said is fast or training is allowing for this? If it is the latter, we may see Bolt's record broken eventually.

Wow I didn’t know the men’s tennis happened. Dumbass article schedules man. Every article I read said 4:30est

 

[dontsteponmyshoes]

There's a lot more contact in kayaking than I would have ever imagined

The only American I was rooting against. This ruined my afternoon.

Its a fast track but the rest of the field top to bottom are getting better and better with training.

That being said, the top end guys still aren't catching the top end guys from 10+ years ago.

Yohan Blake and Tyson Gay ran 9.75's and 9.71's (American Olympic record still) respectively and came second best

Noah backing that **** up

 

[BranchLifestyle]

The way he made up the gap at the end.... Wow

I still think he could have put that out of sight too - he pulled up when he got that WR because he was so far ahead.

Any clips/videos of the Noah Lyles race?

 

[frink85]

I just read up on why Nemour performs for Algeria instead of France, yikes. France gymnastics lost a gold medalist because of pettiness.

I still don't understand how you race with your feet yet it's your torso that decides it at the finishline

Bolt's record won't be broken for decades. Ato Boldon said he running video game times.
2nd fastest time is more than a tenth off. I think 9.6 is possible for current sprinters but 9.5 will need some genetic freak and perfect conditions.

The 200m WR though, that is there for the taking eventually.

I think we got all field sub-10 because the rest of the world is catching up. It's no longer the time where sub 10's will come from the Jamaicans and Americans.
A lot of the of the foreign sprinters also now train in the US so you getting the best talent from everywhere.
