So yeh. 9.58 seconds.

Guy's a beast.

for his sake, and my own peace of mind, i hope its never revealed he's a juicer, b/c that would be a damn shame.

i want to believe that people are capable of fantastic things, and what he's accomplished is simply that.

Man, this guy is going to get close to 9 seconds flat soon!

I say we load him with every PED we've got and see what happens.

He just doesn't look like someone on steroids. He's quite lean but is tall and built absolutely perfectly for sprinting.

Wow, it was a privilege to watch this morning. One of those things where you remember where you were when it happened.

I was having roast pork. Good day all round really.

Why did I open up the RM and the interwebz before watching this, >_<.

It's about ready to show it on my dvr too, >_<

I remember last year being on a stag in Budapest (same date actually) and we managed to catch him winning gold and breaking the world record. I was astonished esp the way he was looking around and coasting going over the line.
Always thought there was more in him and last night he proved it. Sadly I wasn't in Budapest this time I was at home venting my anger on a Liverpool forum!

interesting, I had never even heard of this guy

it makes a lot of sense that someone who is 6'5 is doing this. i think we've always seen shorter sprinters just because of luck and i've always felt that someone who was really tall could ultimately be a good bit faster than someone who is short. I saw him mention that he thinks the times will stop at around 9.4 and after watching the video of this last record setting race, I have to believe him. His start was one of the slowest.

never heard of Bolt??

This..



is because of this..

Never heard of him? He won gold in the 100 and 200 in the Olympics. He did so rather easily too.

The IAAF just announced that all athletes that competed for the 100m final tested negative for drugs.

Which confirms what i've suspected all along - Bolt is actually an alien.

I agree with this, as most of my important memories are of watching a guy on tv run fast.

hmm i sense a tone


hey edzeppe...just curious: have you ever had another avatar? I can only remember you having that one.

I actually wanted originally to have the most posts with no avatar. But then i saw a cool "fuck you fox, bring back arrested development" one that i used for 2 weeks... until a photo on ESPN.com's main page changed my RM identity.

I should have a contest to find me a new avatar, but given my popularity, it would last 3 pages, with every third post coming from thodoks saying "schtick post"

I don't know why, but i'm curious to know which rm members have had the same avatar the longest. I imagine you have to be in the top 10.

for active members (as in still post here a couple times a week) maybe. But there are quite a few (orpheus, sun devil, etc)

It's amazing to think how far the record has fallen since Donovan Bailey broke it with 9.84... THAT is a moment I'll never forget.
