holy $%^$*& this guy is crazy. He messed up his start by almost stumbling, shut down 3/4 of the way to start celebrating IN RACE and still shattered the world record for 100M. If he had sprinted all the way through he could've easily gotten around 9.5s or even lower...and imagine if there was a bit of a tailwind too

edit: just ran 19.30s into a headwind in the 200M final, breaking what was supposed to be an unbreakable record set by Michael Johnson. And yes, this time he ran all the way- first time he's done so in this olympic games

I wouldn't say he wasn't trying, he just makes it look easy.

he expended very little energy for this event. He was full sprint for the first half, then shut it down after he was well ahead. He did this for the qualifying heats, semifinals, and most incredibly the finals too. He should have lots of energy left to spend for the 200M and the relay

He will be running in the 9.5's when he starts trying! Must be nice, cause most people would kill to be the fastest man in the world without really putting the effort in.

I want him to try. If it was me I would wanna put that mark so low nobody could break it. But it seems most people would rather just have the gold.

The 200 is his pet event, he has only been doing the 100 for a year or less, so I cannot wait to see what he does there, if he ever gets pushed to the line, I can see him doing maybe 9.55, nothing faster I would expect, but he is near max performance I think.

It cause hes Jamacian. The Jamacians training method is simple. Get high on some weed, and then have some one stand at the finish line whith some Cheetoes.

Nah but he is ridicusly fast. On espn i heard that he can run a 3.5 40 yard dash. The best nfl players only run 4.4

He tried the first 85meters or so. Once he realized he was pulling away, he started jogging. Still mighty impressive. The dude is just amazing.
