There is something off about this guy. I do not like him.
ya, the vibe and physique jump off the page as unusual ....
not inviting romance here, but who cares?
i was going to say he's much too big for 100, stats say 77 kg six foot one.
don't seem to know what i'm talking about today. when i fact check
Only 77 kg? That doesn't seem right when looking at him.

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.
Is that because you assume runners log faster times in Jamaica then go on to not perform well elsewhere ? Furthest thing from the truth. Recent history is overflowing with evidence that you two knuckleheads willfully ignore. That 9.75 was a meet record. Meaning, all those 9.7s and 9.6s and the 9.5 run by Jamaicans happened elswhere.

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.
Looking unphased doesn't mean you just disappear from view. Then you don't look like anything.
Usain Bolt looked unphased by making his archer poses for the next 10 minutes after his wins, and other clowning around.

He returned to the track almost immediately to give interviews. It's not like he ran out of the stadium not to return.

Bolt recently said he thinks Seville can break his 100m record.
Usain is being nice to Seville. He has lots of potential to run sub 9.8.
But from what I know he's 5'7" so he ain't gonna break 9.70, ever.

He literally ran 9.79 in the Olympics final. In Paris, France, not Jamaica
And lost
