Is it just me or can I not find where in the hell what channel a lot of these events are on and at what times?

Find the times on google
Find the events on the app

 

[MikelArteta]

I’m pretty sure some scientist did the models and owens would’ve been stride for stride with bolt if they ran on the same surface that’s not even accounting for the starting blocks I think

Nah the scientist said he would have been within one stride

 

[Skyjacker]

Lyles final stride being slightly longer than Kishane's was the difference. Great race!

 

[jj23]

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..

You raise a good point actually

 

[Bigwhite2498]

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.

Jacobs had to be in roids has he came close to that since

 

[Pure Water]

All these nikkas slow.

this might be the best 100m final since 2012

I missed it! At Work on a Sunday.

Yes more than one study has shown that.

 

[Bigwhite2498]

Basically side by side without starting blocks

 

[The axe murderer]

19:19 on that too.

Haha, we witnessed a human legend.

What a time to be alive.

shyt lyles personal best was 19.31. Third fastest time ever. Yohan blake.... 19.26. shyt blake was a beast.

This is a great observation.

It made Thompson surge a half stride early

 

[MikelArteta]

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

Tyson gay as well. Blake is the second fastest man ever, gay is the third.

 

[Optimus Prime]

 

[EndGame]

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

I wasn't disagreeing.

yeah if his body held up 2016 (bolt won that in 9.81) and 2021 were supposed to be his.
