Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games

usain bolt looks like he could beat tyson gay in his sleep. i've never seen anyone run like that, no chance for america in this one, unfortunately.

 

Ben Johnson could, he cheated but he was still damn fast.

 

The 100 might still be my favorite event.

 

bolt's 9.72 wr is faster than ben's drug-assisted 9.79.

 

bolt doesn't even look like he's going fast, his strides are so long. it's going to take a miracle for gay to beat him. hopefully, tyson is malingering.

 

gay doesn't have a chance. i dont know anything about sprinting, but bolt looked like a terminator or something.

Did they show the 100m heats on NBC's main coverage tonight?

Yeah, I dont remember if it was before or after Phelps, but it's on there.

[Guest]

Excellent. I've been trying to find Bolt's heat on the NBC website but I was only able to find the American runners.

Oh, and I know this has been said already, but Bela Karolyi is awesome. It can't be stated enough.

i love watching his highlights on nbc.com

[Cynosure]

Why do the summer olympics try to tell me things are sports that aren't?

yeah i don't think i've seen anyone make the 100 look so effortless. maybe it's just because he's tall and has a huge stride, but he doesn't look like he's trying and he is only 0.2 off the world record! plus, you aren't supposed to beat people that soundly in a 10 second race.

Just caught Bolt's 100m on NBC. Dude looked like he was jogging the last 50 meters. The other guys look like they're busting their asses and he doesn't even seem to be trying.

[Careless]

People have only run the 100 meter under 10 seconds 373 times. Only 97 times faster than 9.92(Bolt 3 times, Gay 7 times, Powell 23 times), which was Bolt's time last night.

 

How the heck can you do that without even trying? That was unreal.

 

oh, a link to the data

[TruffleShuffle]

yeah he pretty much left no doubt about who the fastest man in the world is

[Derwood]

am i the only one who is significantly less excited about Week 2 of the Olympics than Week 1?

[David]

It is indescribably awesome to hear the NBA on NBC music.

i'm the same way, but that's just because swimming is over. :x

[Magnetic Curses]

tyson gay fails to qualify for the finals. it's a shame that he wasn't 100%, we might have seen a bit more of a race.

I'm ready for some new stuff and getting a little tired of swimming. Now we should have more tv time for handball :-). Track and field finals will be good.

[Magnetic Curses]

how can a team like spain be within 14 at this point?

 

they have one player, seriously.

 

wow, and they just keep calling fouls on the americans.

[Magnetic Curses]

and another foul on the americans after the free throw, unreal.

 

americans already getting hosed, they'll win, but they should anihiliate the spanish.

[Magnetic Curses]

ref standing right in front of play, but still calls it spain's ball out of bounds.

 

k is letting him have it.

 

i hope we don't have to overcome every single referee to win gold, not that we can't.

[Magnetic Curses]

finish the damn play, paul. that's 10 missed layups for you, bunghole.

[Magnetic Curses]

if there's any doubt, boozer, you twit, save the ball from going out of bounds. i guess he didn't feel like trying. and spain pull swith in 14 again. great.

 

stop fouling them you lazy asses.

[Magnetic Curses]

2 more missed layups with seconds to play, and the finally score on the last tip-in.

 

i've never seen professionals miss so many layups.

[shnsajax]

Federer on the verge of gold in doubles.

[Magnetic Curses]

i just watched some of tyson gay's races, yeah, i'd say that he would have had a chance to beat bolt if he'd remained healthy--but not better than 50/50.

 

tyson gay ran a 9.68, which is the fastest a man has ever run before, that just obliterates everything, a full 10th of a second faster than ben johnson's juice-induced 88.
