When he broke the world record in Berlin there were a lot of people getting carried away with themselves saying this guy could be the first person to break the 9 second barrier, but in reality nobody is ever going to run that, 0.58 seconds in 100 sprinting is gigantic, but I always thought he could reach 9.4, hasn't even come close in sprinting terms, being 27 now getting older and having more and more injuries it's unlikely we will ever see 9.58 beaten, the drugged up Americans Gay and Gaitlan can't even manage to close.

I would like to see a link to any commentator, journo or pundit who seriously thought he would beat 9 seconds.

The 9 second barrier will be broken in the future. I have no doubt that we will start experimenting with genetic modification and, if somebody wants to produce a better-designed sprinter, then that is what they will get. It cannot be difficult to produce swimmers with large hands with webbed fingers and webbed feet. A bit of simple in-breeding should soon produce some improvements in times!
All that is required is the will to do it. If the fame and financial rewards are great enough there would be no shortage of raw material. Obviously, some projects might go a little awry. But ou can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. |

if he shoved a cork in his @rse a few days into the run-up... he could easily get a nice wind-assisted record.

it could inadvertently turn into a long jump record too.

Mike Porky Parry once said that some day someone will run the 100 m in 2 seconds
one day, this genius will be acclaimed as a visionary, until that day comes, he will unfortunately be seen as a buffoon |

9.58 was chemically aided. You can't honestly say Bolt is clean when most of his team mates have been caught. The outed dopers can get 9.69 Bolt can knock 1/10th of a second off that when doped. Bolt is by far the best sprinter but he's still on the gear. Shame as he could probably post a genuine 9.75 or something when clean, which is amazing but would be compared to the doped up others.

Modern race tracks getting faster and faster with technology which especially benefits sprint races , dozens of sprinters today running times similar to legends such as Carl Lewis , times don't impress me , races do.

By:
Since it was officially announced Gay, Powell and Blake all doped it would be cloud cuckoo to believe Bolt never has.
Of course he will never be outed, would destroy the sport once and for all |
