I run the 400 meter dash and I can't wait to see them run

ultimatethor
Main attraction is tommorrows 100 final.

DigiMark007
Hooray!

gryphon28
I most agree I hope Tyson Gay wins but bolt and the other jamaica dude are going to be hard to get a win over

DestinyGuy678
Im looking forward to beshawn jackson and jerimy wariner (since they run my events)

and everyone is gonna watch that 100

gryphon28
I just saw the quarterfinals and I don't think Tyson Gay has a chance any more sad

gryphon28
I know but Bolt ran a 9.43 Like it was nothing he slowed down at the end

DestinyGuy678
if you dont want it ruined for you dont read














gay came i nfifth in his semifinals and didnt qualify for the final, asafa powelll came in 5th and didnt medal, walter dix pulled through and came in 3rd, usain bolt cruised so break the world record and win the 100

Grinning Goku
Holy shit. Bolt is one fast mother****er.

gryphon28
He didn't brake it because when Bolt ran the 100 qualifying rounds they said he still holds the record and the showed the 3 fastest men and Gay had the slowest time

jaden101
Tyson Gay didn't even make the final...and Bolt broke the 9.7 mark at 9.68...despite slowing up and finishing upright at the end...if he really went for it he would maybe even break the 9.6 mark

you know the man has serious talent when he broke the world record on only his 2nd ever 100m run at an event earlier this year

gryphon28
Bolt was gone he proved that theory wrong way wrong

What's your fastest? And what level do you run at?


100 and 200 have always been my favs. 9.68. Wow. That was an amazing race.

gryphon28
So far I can run a 400 in 53 seconds in the next four years I know I will be in the Olympic trails, my talent was given to me by both my mother and my father who were specialist of there city and I hope to be greater

jaden101
so what's the name we should be looking out for and where do you run at the moment?

chillmeistergen
Load of rubbish.

gryphon28
Go drink some tea it seems you need it

Unless you are a middle schooler, you have a long way to go and will have to work your butt off if you want to have a shot at the Olympic Trials. I ran a 53 when I was 17 and didn't get even close to anything with the word Olympics in it. I'm not trying to rain on your parade and I hope you the best, but I don't want you to get your hopes up if you aren't really young.

to be fair...the difference between the mens and womens is quite significant...something like 5 seconds in the world record times

so the male equivalent to her time would be 48s which is about 4 off the world record

if she's telling the truth...personally, being the cynical bastard that i am...i think she's talking out of a hole in her ass

Myth
Oh shit, didn't realize I was talking to a girl, lol. I retract my statements before, because that is completely awesome. I still have a similar question though: Gryphon, how old are you and what level are you running at right now?

Ok, yeah, she has a really good shot. Gryphon, do you ever run 100s or 200s? If so, what are your times?

I believe the men's record is 43.18, which is actually about 5 seconds faster. 47.6 is the women's record btw.



I thought I posted this earlier but it looks like it didn't work, so more questions for Gryphon:

What is your exact time?
Was it automatic or hand timed?
Was it this past track season?

gryphon28
When I got the time I was running at the championships against a girl who has been my rival sense middle school
This was timed by some computer thing 53.7 sec

Are you sure you didn't see this in a film, then think it was you?

National championships?

gryphon28
This was not the National championships

Bolt doing 19.3 in the 200m...unbelievable...winning by 0.66 over 2nd place Crawford...

he's the only man to have ever broken the 100m and 200m world records in the same competition...and he was contemplating doing the 400 instead of the 100...

BruceSkywalker
Bolt is an exceptional runner. I wish he could catch a football. He'd be more amazing on a football field

Probably would have broke 40 stick out tongue

ultimatethor
Christ, Usain bolt is freaking unbelievable. And Michael johnson thought he couldnt do it. LOL

Bolt might add another world record to his list though. In the 4x100 metres relay. But im not sure it counts cuz its a team event

guy222
Bolt and crew should set a new record

Poor US

gryphon28
The USA those stupid idiots how could both woman and men teams drop the ****ing baton
What do the Jamaicans do some ****ing voodoo
