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

nikkas are going to lose sleep when he gets that 4x400 gold and leaves Paris with 4 Gold medals

mad, i missed the mens 100m final. Congrats Noah Liles.

 

[KillerPups]

They got horse 2 stepping in the Olympics

 

[African_brehda]

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

They all are. Kerley just happened to peak in the semi finals

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

He did his absolute best. Didn’t choke at all. That was a crazy race

You're right,I was thinking of the Brit Hinchliffe

 

[Breh13]

India nearly 1.5 billion people and can't even get a silver medal .

Fr China using that billion+ population well.

Maybe India ain't about that shyt, there must be some genetic freaks in there.

I missed the 100m

Looking at the reaction times from the women yesterday Sha'Carri actually ran closer to Alfred than it looked she might’ve ran faster tbh as Sha’Carri was 0.221 seconds while Alfred's was 0.144 and she slowed down at the end too that’s crazy if she ever figures that start out she will run the 100 meters

 

[Givethanks]

Breh there is a week left and we got nothing left except men's basketball and maybe 400 women

Yeah but so far everything has been actioned pack.

 

[African_brehda]

He ain't with all the fukkery, he just run

Nah, he tried to start some drama with Lyles at the world championships last year… then proceeded to fail to qualify for the finals. He’s my favorite runner, but that shyt was too funny

200 is doable.. Blake damn near broke it, after having a horrendous start.

But Blake was special too. Scratch what I said earlier, breaking that 200 isn’t doable

200 is doable I don't think 100 is though


The closest anyone has gotten to 9.58 since Bolt's retirement is 9.76, which is 0.18 difference that is colossal in 100m terms.



if you watch the 200m final from London 2012. You'll see that Bolt beat Blake by 0.12 seconds. So if you wanna get an idea of how close Lyles is to breaking it. Just YouTube and see the distance


Another comparison is comparing a 9.83 to Bolt's 9.58. There's a race of Asafa running 9.83 in 2010. Just Google "Crazy Acceleration Asafa Powell". Powell won by 0.26 seconds from Lemaitre who ran 10.09. That ass whooping will give you a good idea of how far 9.58 is.
