yeah as long as he gets his chicken nuggets :) that is what he says he eats before a race!!!!
He also seems to slow down towards the end of the race, to either look at the clock or start some sort of celebration, i think he can go quicker in both the 100 % 200 metres.

Usain Bolt is doing know what Michael Johnson did 10 years ago, taking athletics to another level.

he has brought athletics to an audience that before did not watch, enjoy or take interest in it. He and his achievements have been all over the news, the biggest story in athletics in recent history.

he should run 100 meters only one year and 200 the next, concentrate on one at a time, he will smash both his records and record times that will take some beating.

The thing with Bolt is that in both his latest 100/200m records, he didn't get every last hundredth of a second - he didn't dip at the line for either, and he definitely lost some time in the 100m by looking left and right.

The man is like Irn Bru - phenomenal :)

The development I don't like is that for the future white athletes will find no motivation to invest in any running competition at all...
Whereas many Blacks won't make the technical disciplines.

I don't think if such a race specialization was the idea of the inventors of international sport competitions.

He never seems to have the greatest of starts - if he gets this right then surely he can get his times down even more. 9.4 sec in 100m and sub 19 sec in 200m is not impossible for this man in my opinion.

Probably not but it's thought the blacks have some genetic qualities that make them better sprinters. Nerves that fire faster in the legs , etc. It's just the way it is. Conversely, you hardly ever see a black champion in the hammer throw, discus or pole vault for that matter. I can't remember any in modern times. That also goes for a lot of the strength competitions dominated by Poles, Scandinavians.

. . . and better distance runners too it seems. African / Carribean athletes hold every single running record from 60m sprint up to the marathon.

True.. East / Central Africans = Great distance runners. West Africans = Great Sprinters. That's what I've heard anyway. However white women seem to have some great distance runners. The winner of the Olympic marathon was Romanian.

he is an athlete, running is considered part of 'athletics', so therefore he represents both the entity and the overall function.

you know thats not a bad idea, whatever he or anybody else says surely doing 2 events is more sapping mentally and physically than doing just 1.

I think I will have to agree...no place for other runners in the coming years.
(Takes the fun out of this race for me)

Are you kidding me? I loved Michael Johnson - he was class, this fool showboats and I cant stand it, this is athletics, not a bloody boxing ring! He certainly didnt endear himself to the crowds of Manchester most didnt even stick around to watch him run after they saw him acting like a prick beforehand...

scrappleton:

I know...still doesnt make me like him.

Yeah agree... he did the same thing at the Olympics. Win with some class. Apparently he thinks your queen should knight him. Lol.

More like a gazelle :)

He'll be waiting a long time... comments like that just show how little class he has! Johnson hates him :0) he almost said as much, he's commentating for the BBC on the World Champs...I really like him, such a nice guy.

You know what I dont care how much they get paid if they perform, its just the attitude he has...For me athletics is about real competitive sport and a person have real worth..He lost that worth when he started show boating.. I can only compare him to Johnson who has more class in his little finger than Bolt will ever possess in his whole body, I doubt very much Im going to see Bolt commentating for the BBC in years to come!

What, like the South African?

Well, I live in the UK and Ive seen a few rough looking women in my time but...Ive also seen (rough looking) trannies look more female than s/he does...it will be intersting to see what the results are...s/he won h/er/is race though..which I have to say I was pleased about, in the even it does turn out it was unnecessary to test..Fatima Witbread was a bit of a bloke but she was a woman and look at the eastern germans in the 70s and 80 and russians...maybe there are less about these days so its more noticable :0)
