Props to whoever called the French guy for 3rd.
He also deserved props for being the clean winner and clean WR holder.
But holy shit does he need to shave that stache.

Part of that freedom is also being able to choose not to put your hand on your heart.
Exactly, you should have the freedom to non-violently disrespect your government.
Just saw in the wide shot that there is a camera man on a segway on the track. Watch out Usain!

Track was wet af
Windy and/or cold in the rain? Is that why the 200m was slow?
Even without the rain and headwind, it's hard to say that Bolt would have gone any faster than 19.5x or so. Weak race from him relatively speaking. Still got it done though.
And Lemaitre for the Bronze. Who saw that one coming?
The Great White Hope gets bronze!
Lemaitre looks like a trailer park boy.
Why, because he's a white European???
Seriously, what world are you living in where Lemaitre is the one clean guy?
Give an actual reason that he is less likely to be doing than Bolt. Go on.
wtf happened to Merritt
I saw someone post that prediction today. Ill they to find and bump the post.

Hmmm. Is this the LRC word for white now?
Yeah, I mean I was expecting 19.4x at best. Bolt's coming off an injury and is getting older. Still expected him to be faster than the semis, but with a bit of a headwind and rainy weather this seems like his max right now.
It'll be interesting to see if he comes back next year to try and thrown down a quick time after a full healthy year (if he can manage that).
*try

Because he's white, yes. Because he looks like he's hasn't seen the inside of a weight room, let alone filled himself with steroids and the like. TBF, DeGrasse doesn't look like a caricature of a human being either.

Could have been tired. 3 400m, 3 200m, and he is old for a top level sprinter.
I just hope he has enough left in the tank for the 4x400 in a couple days. It would be great to see Bolt jump in the Jamaican 4x400 team, because why not, this could be his last global championship.
LeMaitre is super soft and pasty. Not a druggie like Bolt.
Jamaicans are the most corrupt team in the entire Olympic games, they should be the ones sitting home, not the Russians.
Anyone see the piece of paper Bolt took out of his tights after the finish? He threw it on the ground soon after the finish, I reckon it had "sub 19" or something similar written on it.
