Bolt got off to a horrible start. Powell was way ahead. Blake's start didn't seem amazing but he ran away from everyone. Bolt came on late and nipped Powell at the line.
9.75 - Blake
9.86 - Bolt
9.88 - Powell
9.94- Frater
10.00 5th

4x1 world record cometh?
Bolt is done. Might as well go after the 400 WR.

With all of them running through these fumblings by the time of the OG, for sure.
Sub-37. They will be invincible.
I wouldn't say he was crushed.. Bolt gave up 3 meters at the start and has been looking like something was off with him since yesterday's heats. By the end of the race he was closing fast and put up not just a decent time but one of the fastest in the world this year.
He could be nursing a back problem (again) for all we know. But I wouldn't count Bolt out just yet. To get an idea of just how much of an aberration that race was, it's only his 2nd loss in 4 years.
Still take nothing away from Blake, he's done the work and put up a brilliant time.
is there a video or a results page anywhere?

From 7th lane! Bolt looked like crap. Powell injured.
Fraser-Pryce ran perfectly.
No surprise. Blake is the next big thing. Bolt is no longer king in the 100 and will soon be dethroned from the 200. Bolt had his time, but now its Blake's turn.

quoted for posterity..
watching the start in slow mo at around 1:14, Bolt had a TERRIBLE start! He sat in the blocks probably .100 seconds longer than the next slowest starter. Are there reaction times on these guys anywhere?
The wind never blows during a 100M final in Jamaica.
In fairness, Blake has probably timed his PED cycle a bit too soon. While Bolt was surprised he probably realizes his cycle is designed to peak near the Olympics. No worries so long as the supply doesn't go short in the next few months.
I predict a 9.42 showing in the Olympics, and instead of Bolt running sideways through the finish line, this time we'll see something truly spectacular....probably a round-off. Justin Gatlin will time his cycle for a 9.58 but you can find him out at the clubs watching some jello wrestling later that evening so all isn't lost.

I ageee. I'm not fool. Blake is certainly on the juice.
Yohan Blake muscles are unnatural. And some people really think he's clean. Same with Bolt.
Shelly Ann had "2 years off". Running 11 flat or 11.1x times. And now she comes and run 10.70? wow...she is on a serious cycle.
So...I'm going with Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell. They are clean. But look out their careers...run fast, injury, run fast, injury.
Nevertheless, probably the top 3 will be Bolt-Blake-Gatlin (3 dopers for me)
agree.
You don't think that someone who is doping himself to run faster than he normally could is going to be more prone to injury? Anyone in athletics could be doping as far as we know. That's why they are tested.

Jamaican Doping Agency is a joke. Just like USADA.
PED's main effect is to reduce injury risks.
I wonder about the drugs that they're taking now.
