With no wind it still would have been a 9.88 run.

With a max legal wind of 2.0 it would be a 9.79

Are you sure, the commentator claimed that it was more like 10s or just under with a legal wind?

This same tired argument gets brought out every year and it turns out to be off-base every time. Even at his worst, when Bolt was struggling to go sub-10 and sub-20 in 2015, and up against Justin Gatlin who ran 9.7x several times, Bolt STILL won when it actually mattered.

Bolt can go 9.7 any day of the week if he absolutely has to for a championship. No one else right now can consistently go 9.7. Bolt will probably never run 9.58 again but he doesn't have to. Bolt is still untouchable.

DeGrasse was an NCAAer win he won the bronze at the Worlds, he and Bromel who also won the bronze.

These are just kids....burn out????

Dare I be the first to say BOLT not on the medal stand at World Champs?

This is a typical example of someone who wants to make a crazy prediction just to say look at me if it happens and say nothing when it doesn't

Stay on that good stuff tho

I do think this will be the year Bolt loses a majors. He has been running slower and slower for a while now. Now he's dropping the 200m, he's dodging Blake. I think he knows it's over.

Now sure who will take him down, Gatlin, DeGrasse, Blake, seem to be te ones with te best shot.

And only the second white European after Lematire?

Probably the only clean time in that race too.[/quote]

Claiming that the white guy is the only clean one. You are so, so pathetic.

"Andre DeGrasse Tyson Gay" would be a killer Wheel of Fortune Puzzle for a TF&N World Champs Tour's mixer with E. Garry Hill in the Pat Sajak role and Queen Harrison revealing the letters.

Probably the only clean time in that race too.

charles the hammer:

Why do you assume Degrasse is NOT clean? Why do you assume Reus IS clean? Personally, I believe BOTH are clean.

Another poster stated, "Degrasse came from nowhere". This is false. He ran at USC (West Coast) under Gilbert and is now with Altis. His times have been slowly coming down over YEARS. It is not like he woke up last year and was running sub-10s in the sand, uphill, during a blizzard.

'Cause Reus is a nice white all american boy.

Julian Reus 9.99? Is that the first German under 10 seconds?

No lots of white guys under 10 when windy.

Definitely. Nobody who rises so fast on the scene can be clean.

I think that's what he meant when he said he was looking forward to doing it legally.

Without wind he would have run around 10.00

Stop getting bent out of shape

AGree. a bunch of no names also lit it up. All wind, ignore these times entirely.

You are both correct. This wasn't a big deal. I would expect more separation from that weak field he raced. Had a hurricane behind him!

I'm not sure what the hype is for that wind aided time. Bolt has run 9:58 legal.

It's like hyping a 3:50 downhill mile time, when the flat world record is 3:44.

Just like when everyone said that Gatlin would beat Bolt a few years ago....You should know better by now

Degrasse should win the gold.

He is rounding into form nicely and at the right time. Coleman will be a non-factor as he'll be burnt out and bolt will have to fight very hard to get into the 9.7-8s.

I don't see anyone else as solid as degrasse right now.

Not a single post explaining what a +4.8 meters per second wind reading really is. De Grasse ran has 9.69 with a 10.73 mph wind at his back. His last two legal races this year were 10.10 and 10.01.

You wanna know the dead give away that these times are phony baloney?

There was a race a few hours earlier that was run with a +1.7 wind. Ryan Shields won the race in 10.19. He ran 9.89 in the De Grasse hurricane race.

De Grasse's hurricane race is either a 9.99 or 10.00. No faster!

It's not a "phony" run.

Yeah it's not 9.69 but it's not 10.10 either.

It corrects likely to a 9.88 - which is 2/10s slower. Which makes shields time about 10.1 which lines up with his heat time.

for reference christian coleman's NCAA record corrects to 9.88 as well...

Martin Keller (GER) 9.99 with a +3.7 wind in 2013

So the no name Jamaican guy whose previous best was 10.16 went 9.89? That tells you everything right there, that this means squat!
