      • What a joke. Should have been 60/40

      • Does anyone have split times for the relay? I'd love to know how fast Dwight Howard and Chris Johnson ran?
    • it was yards

      • It was 60 yards, which would make it 6.55-6.60 for 6o meters

      • They never said yards, only meters. Two possibilities: it was 60y, in which case 6.08 is #5 all-time (for 55m, which is about 2-3 inches different). Or if it was 60m, then 6.08 was hand-timed and one if the best ever. In any case, it was fast.

      • Couldn't have been 60m. I hand-timed it over and over and kept getting times that should convert right back to an FAT time between 6.04-6.14 (and since he ran 6.08...)

        You also have to take into account that he pulled up a little bit at the end and probably wasn't going flat out. His actual time should convert to about a 6.56 60m, which is still about 10.15 speed on average, maybe 10.10 for someone with his closing speed.

        Gay has gone 6.36 before for a 60m (first 60 of his 100 in Berlin). Bolt went 6.31 in that run.

      • 6.05 is an absurd time for a 60m run. It would be like Kenenisa Bekele racing the president (Obama runs 2500m, Bekele 5000m) and Kenenisa running an 11:57 5000m.
