Didn't improve on the 14.35 he ran in Manchester, 2009.

Does this pedestrian time and no WR means its all over him?
I couldn't understand the announcers and they still did a better job than NBC or ESPN. Those guys were excited to be there.
I love biased announcing-'homers' are fans first and reporters second... WE WIN !! WE WIN!!
I just wish they uninvented the plastic kazoo-that sound is very annoying to me.
God I love Bolt

Nah. He's not in the shape yet to run blazing fast times. Remember he's been running 400s recently in subpar times for him (and also losing) so to come see him run a very quick time in 150m right after that is actually encouraging. It's a good sign for what will come later on assuming he doesn't get any more back problems

I don't recall him losing.
damn, bolt looks like he has 30-40lbs on kirani, probabaly 70+lbs on santos...anyone who says he could move up to the 400 and dominate right now is smokin some good ish! he's gettin too big, that's too much muscle to move around the track for 1 lap no matter how much more power he has than those guys!
That was pretty cool- kind of like those city street pole vault competitions they used to have.
Maybe some impromptu street track meets with a couple sprints and an 800, maybe a mass participation and elite road mile could generate some interest.
But that beach thing was cool. I imagine each of those guys had no problem getting some entertainment after the race.
Bolt is pure lean muscle.
I may be wrong, but it seems like the past few years he has bulked up quite a bit, only to lose it as he gets closer to the big race of the year.

He's also slowed down. His 2008 and 2009 times were considerably faster than his 2011 and 2012 times wind adjusted. He's also about 5-10 lbs heavier and has been partying hard.
If Blake can stay consistent and healthy he should kick Bolts a$$ in Rio. At 6'5" and almost 30 Bolt will probably be done.
He should move on to a different sport in a year or two to keep from getting embarrassed by Blake or an American or getting a hamstring tear. The age of Bolt is coming to an end.
