This is no rocket science. Bolt will win - and in record time!!! When you watch Bolt running,he does it with alot of ease. He doesn't push himself to the limit. Well,this sunday he might just do it! And he has alot to loose if he doesn't win and will finally prove a point to the doubters if he does. This is a race of his life. But don't be suprised if one of them gets a funny 'injury' and pulls out.

On the other hand,I wonder what the other athletes are feeling. Listening to discussions everywhere,one might be forgiven to imagine there will only be two competitors on the track!!! The race might just be won by one Obafeni olagaden fufu - my broda from Nigeria!!!

Kausha,



9.32s is not for the current generation - that’s vision 2030. Remember that the world record has been improved upon twelve times since the introduction of electronic timing and has never being surpassed by more than 0.05 s at a time. Did you know that the fastest recorded time for the distance,although excluded from the records because of wind assistance,was 9.68 s by Tyson Gay in 2008 during the 2008 U.S. Olympic trials in Oregon where the tail wind speed was 4.1 m/s,more than double the IAAF legal limit. All in all you have to give it up to Bolt who ran 9.69s in Beijing under still wind conditions (0.0m/s).



Whether we are staring at a new world record will also depend on Berlin’s attitude as sprint athletes perform better at high altitudes because of the thinner air,which provides less air resistance although it makes breathing slightly more difficult.

@maich black

good observation. we r forgetting the other dudes. i honestly like OLUSONJI FASUBA..not sure about the spelling...he came fourth/fifth in beijing.

and @all,9.32 is tooooo ambitious,ask Ben Johnson...even with madawa + wind assist never came close to it.


be happy!

Kausha hapo umedinya point,there's no 100M race I've seen Bolt struggle - NONE! He might be a slow starter but please mention any race where you've seen Bolt stretch his neck for a photo finish.

@bebeto,I meant 100m when I was talking abou sprint,most of the american sprinters (except Gay who seems to have some level of humility - probably coz he hasn't beaten Bolt) have some macho bulls*** that I can't stand,remember Maurice Greene and that 4 x 4 posse of 96 olympics?

MJ was sheer class. Jones was the last person I expected to be doping (maybe it's that sexy smile that used to fool me) but after that I've always been suspicious of american sprinters,especially when it was found out they were using that enhancer called THX or somes*** which was undetectable even in doping tests - did you know even the great Carl Lewis was later on found to have used banned substances,only that they couldn't detect them at the time. Correct me if I'm wrong on that one.

And on Ben Johnson,what time did he make with his steroids? I thought it was 9.45sec? Anyway,I believe even Jackie Joyner Cassie with her wind assisted 10.45sec that no female athlete has ever come close to (even Jones with her doping) was also using banned substances - too bad she died without the world ever knowing for sure.

Bolt it is,9.58 new WR.

be happy!
