I know we have a QB controversy going on but this guy deserves a thread. He may be the most freakishly athletic human ever. He just toys with the field. Not only is he the fastest human ever, but he's 6'5" and only tries for about 2/3 of the race. Amazing

If you project his 100 meter time to a 40 yd dash time then it comes out to something like a 3.5 second 40. You can find it out and do the math but imagine how much faster of a time he'd have gotten if he hadnt pulled up.

You mean showboated. The guy is a freak, but anyone else sort of miffed by that. You don't do that in the Olympics.

I know my plan was to run through the tape but they did not invite me to participate.

That is a ridiculously cool name for a sprinter.

yes, the problem many have with him was that he showed up all the other runners by show boating as the race was still in progress but this guy wasnt even suppose to run the 100. He had to beg his coach to let him run it. I dont approve of his actions but it was on the biggest stage in the world and he had won the first gold for his country in the event.

It would have been horrible if he had lost but the guy is a freak of nature when it comes to being the fast man in the world

Even better if he was playing for SMU it could be announced as Usain "Thunder" Bolt .

Thanks for ruining the ending.

Yes, that guy is amazing. He could probably do a crossword puzzle while running and still break records.

Anyone else think he may have mutual friends with Barry Bonds?

Yeah, the mutual friend's name is Asskicker McGee and he teaches them everything he knows.
