That record is absolutely absurd. 200m record I wonder if its more doable

19:19 on that too.

Haha, we witnessed a human legend.

What a time to be alive.

 

[The Wall Is Undefeated!]

Belgium has a sprinter called 'Doom'. LOL

 

[skyrunner1]

10th generation American (roughly speaking).

Time to talk that ish. How Bout Dem Mericans?!

[The axe murderer]

 

[dontreadthis]

lost in all the hate watching is this is NOT Lyle’s best event. nikka won it just to talk shyt .

 

[DJK]

Lyles was last out of the block.

Again, 9 out of 10 times you lose with that start

 

[hashmander]

i have to say though when marcel jacobs won in 2021 i was kinda dismissive of his 9.80, but that range is the new (old?) normal with 9.79 winning today. bolt just spoiled us.

 

[skyrunner1]

Experience prevailed. Thompson form went.

Lyles kept calm and clawed back at them.

THIS. Lyles need to buy Kerley SOMETHING.. Him being on Thompson hip had him panic and took all his focus while Lyles closed from other side..

It's very simple, if you have a subpar start against Noah and he has a decent start, he's catching you. It's only a matter of when, not if, because of his top end speed. He's able to tap into it a lot quicker than he did earlier in his career. Props to him for training on that 60m so much lately.

Ahh is the sustained speed. Thompson reached the highest speed but lyles maintained his speed longer.

 

[Samori Toure]

Olympic pressure is something else, at least Gatlin and Tyson Gay had to deal with a prime Bolt, but Coleman keep missing the Olympics due to his own doing.

Kerley winning silver in 2021 and bronze today is good, but you know he pissed about just missing out on Gold too

I like Kerley and I wanted him to win the gold, but truth be told that nikka should have dived if he really wanted them shyts. Fugg pride when you get that close to gold.

 

[Peak]

Again, did the South African choke?

Not really. I think it was a toss up for him to h
Get the bronze.

 

[jj23]

Saudi need to start that liv track

Imagine like two months from now kishane and noah do it again in a packed stadium in jeddah?

Man I am there

 

[Breh13]

Blake must be pissed he was born in the same gen as Bolt plus his body gave out in the end.
