Tooj 17 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Also a special mention to Jessica Ennis, not just for her great sporting achievement but simply for the fact I want to lock her away in a basement and do naughty things to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 The Jamaicans have, however, been at the centre of the intensive drug-testing regime during these Olympics. Bolt's test after his victory was his seventh since he arrived and officials within the Jamaican camp were known to be unhappy about the scrutiny their athletes had come under. Don Anderson, the chef de mission, said the team had endured an "extremely unusual" number of drug tests in Beijing. Speaking before the start of the athletics programme, he said the team had been tested 32 times in five days. Just co clear that up for you Rob.

Guest alex Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Looks to have the potential to go a canny bit quicker as well. Mental. You have to feel for Tyson Gay as well. To run that time and to still get well beaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2bias 3 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I think Bolt knows he can go quicker. Probably spacing it out he can keep making and breaking records Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's impossible anyway. He might have ran 8.7 for a 100m sector of the race i.e. when he was already travelling at full speed or thereabouts. Anyway, my point was he's broke records to win major titles, not for the prize money at big European meets etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8955 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I don't think he's the kind of fella to strategically beat his time, whilst leaving a sufficent buffer between that and his best possible to allow for record breaking when the mood takes. It looks like he's just a bloke that can run impossibly fast and enjoys doing just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 The margins in the 100m are too small for even someone like him to pick and choose when he breaks records and by how much etc. in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bias 3 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Alot of it is also down to the conditions aswell though. Good luck to him, he is bringing alot more interest into athletics which is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 86 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 for proof that he could go a fair bit faster, just look at his reaction times on the iaaf site. he was 7th out of the blocks yet won by around 2.5 metres. if injury free he will hit 9.5 at the next olympics. thats certainly what i beleive. he's drug free as far as i can tell. the most obvious givaway on steriod heads is the colour of their eyeball, that deteriorates from off white to creamy yellow (least thats what i've been told). as for jessica ennis, who wouldn't. she's fit. i like her training partner as well. the one that didn't do so well...

I think hes more just running to beat his competitors, once he feels hes done that he eases off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
