Doesn't really mean anything. 9.84 is mediocre at best. You gotta figure this is an Olympic year, Bolt's gonna be stoked outta his mind for this frickin race. There's solid information to support this. I'm lookin new WR, 9.53-9.57. Don't be surprised.
And when I'm right, BUMP this thread.
9.67 at the very fastest wind legal
Honestly, I wish I could get excited about these guys going so fast. But I have zero faith that they are clean... Sigh.
I did actually mean "bombastic", as in ostentatious.
Bolt is a showman first and foremost, and his running style reflects that.
He is an animated runner, compared to Gay/Blake.
He is larger-than-life, rangey, goofing around...even when he runs a solid 200, your eyes are glued to him, with his larger-than-life stride, his shoulder turn in the bend, his explosion around the curve.
Not damped like Blake/Gay. Higher highs, lower lows.
Other guys run with drive and determination.
Bolt runs with ATTITUDE.
Bombastic attitude...
