I'm just wondering what all those who think that horses that are 'eased' up in easy wins couldn't have gone any faster have to say about this effort.

BOLT couldn't have gone FASTER, right?

Nah, that's ridiculous.

you can't possibly be serious about that comparison. you should seriously try to delete it to avoid the embarrassment.

The number of truly insane things that come off of this guys keyboard never ceases to amaze me. Comparing horses to humans and lack of voluntary effort probably sets the bar north of lunatic when evaluating this guy and anything he says. Hooves would love to see this one but I think he has the guy ignored.

when horses start thumping their chest before the finish line, i'll concede they could have run faster in the final 20 meters.

Could of run 9.50....It's like the Jolley Green Giant made a kid that can run. I think he could of won without juice, but he looks juiced. Legs are too live to be natural. He didn't look that way last month. Doesn't make it any less fun to watch, but I think he's gunna get busted. He's 1)a giant that 2)can run, and 3)he looks juiced. That all adds up to that freak show. A giant that can run would have been good enough to win this. Looks like one of those Greg Martin horses(before he got caught.) I've seen legs that live, and they were later found to be juiced. If you disagree, then be willing to bet me on it.

This video is the way he should look(unjuiced.) He is running hard the whole way. He is dominant, but not to the extent he is so cocky he can start shutting it down. He doesn't have excess gas (in the Olympics his legs are more live than this.) To me, what you are seeing in the Olympics is this guy(in this video) with juice added. He didn't need the capability to run 9.50. He didn't need to juice. You will see that this guy juiced. That's the difference between this video, and what you saw this week. He needed to run hard to run the 9.72 in the video. Today, if he ran hard like this, he would run 9.50. I guess he didn't like losing to Asafa last month. He made sure it wasn't gunna happen in the Olympics.

Same with this video where he lost to ASAFA:

Bolt is having to work much harder in these races. They aren't close to the effortless Olympic races. He is using a portion of his ability, but flys like the wind(cuz juiced legs.) Don't get me wrong, I think he was gunna get the gold, but he is looking like a freak (all the sudden) because the legs are juiced up. We've seen this look before, and the guy got caught. His legs didn't just all the sudden get this live.

chinese hurdler withdrew from the 110's without running a hurdle, defending gold medalist. false start in his heat then walked off with an Achilles injury. prior injury.
