All these remarkable times that have been put up since 2021 started makes me think there's some new shyt on the market

Yeah it was the same in cycling. That COVID pause probably had all athletes in the world juicing up hard because there was no control

Shoe tech has been revolutionised. Tracks are faster.

Bolt in today's tech would be running 9.4,9.35

Advances in spike technology are laughable and unfair, says Bolt

Usain Bolt said that advances in spike technology that could help wipe out his world records are laughable and that the new shoes also give an unfair advantage over any athletes not wearing them.

Yeah. Cycling race speeds are at an all time high. Eurosport/Discovery/GCN comms team will make sure to throw in some old fast races from the 60's to try and throw you off the scent.

The fact that kerley just started running the 100 a year ago and is putting up monster times…I just don’t know

From the camera angle I saw the race from the 9.83. It looked like he got a great start for once lol.

Apparently his top speed distance covered and splits in 10m (60m-70m) has only been bettered by Bolt's world record run in Berlin. And it equalled Bolt's Beijing record.

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

I watched the first day of the UK trials last night. The wind was pretty much +2. And the depth of talent was looking was have no idea what has happened to all the 400m specialists for both men's and womens.

Even Dwain Chambers at 44 was competing in the 100m.

It’s remarkable top end. He got a slow start yesterday and ran a 9.78. Madness.

The bike technology is light years ahead now. The carbon frames, aero wheels and gear ratios these guys are using are unreal. Imagine going down hill at 85kmk on a 9 pound bike.

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

It’s remarkable top end. He got a slow start yesterday and ran a 9.78. Madness.

All those years of 400m training and races gave him the cheat code once he worked out the nuances and intricacies of running the 100m.
