Well done Degrasse!
Rio Olympics 2016
- Thread starter LuisNaniencia
- Start date
yay
Not as fast as I thought it would be
Shame he got a poor start. That WR will last a long time.
Flashback to last year:
Imagine if Bolt was better at starting.
But a hattrick of Gold in 100m. Champion!

Close, but wow. Three in a row...
20 Years maximum with Nanotechnology and gene-therapy on the horizon which will probably be legitimate in the Olympics as it's not cheating, it'll be a standard thing like Electricity or the Internet in the 2030s.
Bolt will always be the GOAT sprinter though in my eyes.
It just feels like Bolt knew he can win and decided to take the start safely.
Hes nowhere near as fast as he once was. Still far too good for everyone else
If there's ever a whistleblower in running then I'm putting my money on Andre de Grasse
Yes! He did it!
Gah, was worried for 90 metres of that.
I know what you mean. Easy to think he could've shaved a couple of tenths off both records.
Too bad that dirty cheat Gatlin got the silver.
The only race Bolt's ever lost is the one against his receding hair line.
The commentator is masturbating.
I'd like to see him go all out for the record at some point before he retires. Feels like he holds back on the starts after what happened in 2011
I'm so happy. My favourite Olympian.
Was slowing down again before he crossed the line 
Bolt or Phelps?
Difficult to compare but I'm jut glad to witness them both at their peak. Two of the greatest to ever do it.

Maybe but Marita Koch still holds the woman 400m Record 31 years on, Flo Jo 100 & 200m record still stands 28 years later, Johnson 400 just been taken after 17 years
The race at London 2012 has to be the best ever. The times were unbelievable
Thinking about it it, he's a troll. The looking across the line, the chest beating. He values beating the oppos over times.
Ridiculous really. If he chose to steam through..Was slowing down again before he crossed the line
Good thing its not the 70m dash
Yeah, just got 2/3 of a pint to go!
Phelps as he done over 4 Olympics
Yes but that's human genetics currently.
Nanotechnology and Genetherapy might see the whole face of athletics change healthcare certainly, I really see Bolts record being broken in the 2030s at the latest, feel free to quote me in 15-20 years if I'm wrong.
the athletes you mentioned are always going to be complete legends, Bolt for me is one of the greatest sportsmen of all time, plus he's a United fan! win win!
Everybody (bar Powell who got hurt) was sub-10 right? That was a mad race.
It's one of those things where his legend is going to become even more hyped because people think he never went all out, so speculation will always be rife about his 'real' ceiling.
Where the feck are you watching the olympics over a pint on a Sunday? Some late night bar
?I wish he'd just power through to get the best ever time, it's great to see him chilling before he wins but be nice to see what could be achieved.
Yes. I think Blake, Gatlin and Gay also all ran sub 9.80 along with Bolts 9.64.
It was fastest race ever, yet still he was a 10th of a second faster than the second best
We still got the 200m I guess. You never know.
Bolt so fast he even managed to tweet without us seeing him do it... 
Reminded me of the 84 final in LA - Sam Graddy playing the role Gatlin did today - fast start only to be overtaken by Lewis in the final 3rd.
It felt way closer than 0.08s, no one has won three Olympic sprint titles in a row and it's not even his favoured distance.
He already has the best time ever. 9.58 he got in 2009 in his prime. We're not seeing that beaten for a very, very long time.
My local Sainsburys does pint cans of Stella. I may be over-egging itWhere the feck are you watching the olympics over a pint on a Sunday? Some late night bar
