Insain bolt breaks world Record

[hardcorecubfan]

Johnson explained that bolt has an incredible arm turn over rate which makes him ideal for the 200 which compensates for the long legs. when he comes out of the turn the arm pumping forces his stride to be almost as large as Edwin Mose's. Michael Johnson believes he will run 19.1 and should think about dropping the 100 for a race/meet and running the 400 which would better suit him.

Yeah, he hasn't had much success in the 100.

He has an opportunity to be the most celebrated

Athlete of the early 21st century with a win in the 100, 200 and 400 no man has ever won all three. I personally would like to see him do that and throw down the challenge to the Americans to step up their game in the 400, which we dominate, then take him to the cleaners, but it would be one great race to remember. I would be willing to pay superbowl price for that ticket

Besides the fact that this guy is juicing, he could win every event and not be the biggest athlete of the 21st century.

I've always wondered what the absolute pinnacle of human achievement was in an event like this. What's the absolute fastest time that the human body could run a race like this?

Well when Michael Johnson broke the world record in the 200, there were people wondering the same thing. They thought he passed the threshold of what a human being should be able to do. They used to believe that your heart would fail at that speed. I don't think we'll ever see anyone go faster than 9.3 in the 100 or 19 seconds in the 200. But then again, they used to think the four minute mile was unattainable too.

 

there are many scientists who study physics of the body and bio-mechanics of activities the body takes part in who say we are nowhere close to the human speed limit. we are only limited by how fast our muscles respond to electro-mechanical signals from our brains. i would not be surprised if someone doesn't break 9 seconds within 6-10 years. biologically, we aren't close to the max speed a human could run.

Great post, obviously I agree. With new training techniques someone will do it, but first we have to get off the couch.

and PED's

[DiamondMind]

How would PED's improve his speed? Wouldn't they just reduce the recovery time between races/training? I mean the base line talent is already there.

Yes, the base line talent is there, but come on. You really don't see how drugs can help you train to be faster?

I wonder what Bolt would do in a 400. I think he could easily dip into the 42.9x range, which is just mind blowing to me. Shoot, anything under 50 is amazing to me (never did get under, dangit!)

is this a joke? the P and the E stand for performance enhancing. like your performance will be enhanced if you use them.

Not all PED's are muscle building steroids. Drugs like EPO increase red blood cell production and improve the amount of oxygen that blood can carry to your muscles. For an endurance athlete, this is hugely beneficial.

If he were going to step up to the 400, I'd like to see him focus a year's worth of training on it first so we'd really get to see what he could do. I'm sure you know it's a slightly different type of training, and I'm curious how his body would respond. Then put him on the track against Merritt and Wariner and see who comes out on top. He has the pure speed to pull it off. But the 400 is a different beast that incorporates a lot more speed endurance.

 

It doesn't look like we're going to get to see that Bolt vs. Gay final in the 200. I'm hearing Gay dropped out with a groin injury. (::Waits for witty pun about connection between his name and groin injury::)

I don't know the science, but I'm sure Ben Johnson, Justin Gatlin, Marion Jones, among other, would know.

[Magnetic Curses]

i'm thinking he is mistaking anabolic steroids for anti-inflammatories. yes, anti-inflammatories reduce muscle irritation and soreness and decrease recovery time. anabolic steroids are totally different altogether.

[Pushfrog98]

Bolt ran hard the first 100 and cruised the 2nd 100 today in the 200 and finished with a time of 20.08.

That is how I woulld have him approach the 400 then try to get an inside lane and dog Wariner for 300 meters then kick in overdrive

it would be pretty embarrassing to be this dude's boyfriend.

[Pushfrog98]

how does this "gender test" work? TO me, it should be as simple as, "Drop 'em."

 

Also, "she" is 100000% dude.

[treebird]

Now this is a guy that I really hope is clean. I don't think anyone would take track seriously anymore if Bolt came out and tested for some sort of PED.

 

People take track seriously? It's practice for real sports.

Track is the second biggest sport in the world behind soccer. Just because America doesn't embrace it doesn't mean people don't follow it. It paid for my college education, so I still follow it when I can.

In terms of what? Participation?

It use to be just drop them, as the case in the 1964 Olympics proved but today they have a psychologis, gynecologis, a person that specializes in gender altering, endocronoligist

 

 

Caster Semenya is her/his name from S. Africa and her mom says she is a 100 percent girl.

Mom may be right on the girl thing but not the 100 percent statement

 

If she is, how embarrasing and mind scaring can that be, walking around with that label the rest of your life

[Butterscup1679666578]

psychologis, gynecologis

[wekse]

definitely a man...no question, heh.
