  - That's crazy for a season opener, especially since he said he is being more cautious with his training. Anyone know if he has ever opened a season faster?

    9.86 and injured last year? He trashed everyone else. I'm shocked.

  - I thought you were trolling as well. Bolt had better watch his back.
    
    I thought Tyson was heading to retirement.

  - In the year Bolt went 9.76/9.73, had he run a 10.03 already that year, or was 9.76 his opener? No one else has opened faster though.

  - Kills Nesta carter after a poor start to get 9.86? Dude Gay please please please don't get hurt and the gold medal is yours this year. All the top Jamaican runners all have injuries (Bolt-Blake-Powell). This is your year to shine and get back on top.

  - Anyone have results? I couldn't find them on the meet website. I also see they had a free stream. Too bad I missed it. If you saw the race describe it please.

  - anyone get a wind reading? regardless, this is an encouraging result if only for the win alone. to see him being able to come back from a poor start and gap nesta carter by a quarter second is impressive, with or without a big tailwind for the fast time.

  - That's an AWESOME season starter. Gay is such a determined athlete who ahs never doubted he can compete for the best. His start has always been slow (strange for a short sprinter) but his speed is awesome and it appears his changed attitude to his style of training is paying off.
    
    I'm genuinely looking excited at the competition this year.

  - Please, please, please stay healthy Tyson. I honestly believe Tyson is the only guy in the world who can beat Bolt when healthy.

  - The first time Tyson ran this fast in 2012 when wind is factored in was the Olympic final.

  - He ran 9.85 in May of 2008 at the Adidas Grand Prix when Bolt first broke the world record. Not sure if that was his opener though.
