Usain Bolt runs 45.54 to win in Kingston

He has told jamaica's 400 meter coach he will break the world record in the 400 running 42.5 in 6 years.

And he supports Manchester United too.

he's got to be out of shape still, from what we heard about his offseason. I think that Flo Jo could have held the 100, 200 and 400 records at the same time had she gone after the 400, given her relay. But would Bolt be the first, male or female, to do that?

good to see the characteristic king99 thread, anger, challenging the 'Internet tough guy' who insulted him to a fight, repentance. It is what it is. Always fun.

no one gives a shit about his 400 malmo.

I AM 'no one' and I do. The development of Bolt in the 400 may be more interesting than many other T&F 'stories'. Bolt is the biggest story in track now and may become the biggest talent ever.... IMHO

Okay, maybe I should call about this, but I'd rather see him run a 9.4 100 and break 18-something in the 200.

And teach him to long jump.

0/10

To chop a second off of last weeks time and look better doing it shows that he will certainly be able to shave more time off.

Take a look at his 200m semi in Beijing-running 20.0 never looked so easy!

I was off a a few tens.

"In his final Jamaican High School Championships in 2003, he broke both the 200 m and 400 m records with times of 20.25 s and 45.30 s, respectively."

How old was he when he did this?

What was the purpose of the 0/10? Aren't you and 430miler basically making the same point?

when i said hes the most explosing athletes in sports today, i wasnt referring to his physical appearance of looking like he's "exploding" off the starting line. i was referring to his overall finish time which, in itself, is obviously more explosing than the other runners because he finished the race faster.

lets all remember, he has a longer body and stride; so its not going to seem like hes more as fast as the smaller runners such as maurice greene. there is a huge difference between being "quick" and being "fast". take 2 balls for example. both are equally sphericall. they both are rolling down a slope, and both reach the bottom at the same time. the larger ball made less rotations because its circumferance is larger. the smaller ball made alot more rotations and looked as if it were moving alot "quicker" (which it was). they both reached the finish line at the same time, but the smaller ball always looked as though it had more turnover. it did.

this is the difference between being physiologically "quick" and being physiologically "fast".

usain bolt is physiologically "fast". so, in essence and retrospective, he will never get the visual "explosing" recognition that you are inquiring to.

quick or fat, i dont care what the media says. the only thing that matters is what the clock says. he is getting from point a to point b at a faster arimatical time increment. dont let your eyes fool you. dont judge a book by its cover. once he imagines himself as a young gun with quick turnover, combines with the long fast stunning gazzelle that he is, all of the universe will be weeping at his physiological feet when he combines being "quick" with being "fast".

nonetheless, these 400s will only be not only beneficial, but essential to his perfomance in the shorter distances. i would focus on running the turn between 200-300meters. if he can perfect that, i predict a 9.2 100, 18.6 200, and 42.1 for 400 before he reaches a precision peaking cycle before the next olympics.

times dont lie. the explosion is there. hes just keeping it bottled up. imagine beijeng as just sample of him taking a salt/pepper shaker and moving it to the "sifting" position instead of the really small hole shaking position. each time he mildly explodes, he is "sifting" his luxourious legs. one day, when he (not the world) is ready, he will revolve the salt canister nozzle into the "pour" position. when that happens, be prepared for a lightning bolt of speed, and his own world records, to come crashing down upon our slow souls.

The 0/10 was because of the use of the word "explosing", which I don't think is actually a word.

I agree with a lot of what 430 said, even if he says it in a somewhat strange way. The 2 different sized balls is a good example though.

You really need to proofread your posts. Just because you think in nonsense and run-on sentences doesn't mean we need to be subjected to them. Try harder next time.

HE WILL NEVER BREAK THE WR.

YOU ALL KNOW NOTHING ABOUT RUNNING 400M, ITS @ 80 METERS LONGER THAN A SPRINT

Ah, c'mon. His improvement right before the games was due to his superior work ethic and understanding of training principles.

No, you dipped shit. His improvement was due to harnessing his superior talent. Go back to reading your Jack Daniels and maybe you will understand the principles of why you're a shitty runner.

you really need to shut up, this isn't english class bitch, go proofread your own shit

This was a brilliant post. There is no better troll.

I have 2 different sized balls.

i wonder how fast he could run 600m
