As fast as I think he is, something’s off with this result. That was crap maintenance. It was the slowest 9.75 ever. Faster than BJ/Greene 9.79? Unlikely. Faster than Powell 9.77? Unlikely. Faster than Blake’s 9.7’s? Unlikely.

Unlikely, but maybe possible.

If this was a real 9.75, then he will go 9.6-high if he gets a 2nd half, and 9.6-mid/low if he can ever relax.

Time will tell. JAM 4x1 has promise this year

Agreed. I do not trust times coming out of Jamaica.

On June 27 2025 Kishane Thompson completed his race in 9.75 seconds

whether the race is faster than bolt’s 9.58 is yet to be determined

A bit surprised he runs as fast as he does with no 200m history.

Last time I checked, 9.75 was slower than 9.58. Not sure what I'm missing here.

Bolt's record is pretty old and the Earth's rotation has slowed since then. A second is a longer time than it used to be. So it has to be adjusted to compare accurately.

What I wonder is why someone who just won a big 100 would immediately head off the track to the locker room or wherever. No celebration? Wave to the fans you dope.

I would say Kishane is built more like Walter Dix than Ben Johnson

Ben was kind of short. Kishane is a big bear/freight train

Ben is 5'10" (was then, still is now.) Walter Dix is much thicker all over than Kishane. Kishane is buff but not as buff as Dix was. Dix and Johnson were closer in build. Ben could bench press 8 x 450 (I've heard both 10 x 450 and 8 x 450.)

Nah, he’s actually fast.

Any splits available for this race? I wonder what his time was to 60

It's no biggie. He gave interviews trackside after that. Everyone wants to look unphased when they run a fast time. It's a sprinting thing.

He does have room for improvement though. Speed endurance can improve and he stumbled mid race too.

Let's hope he's the man to get to 9.6. Sprinting has been pretty boring since the golden era.
