Regarding the "slow" time, I think it was more the wind, not the rain.

 

[Wanchan]

Yooo we're bronze, holy shit.

 

[Superman0]

Lol at the rivalry, Bolt is racing against himself.

 

[BlackJace]

Three in a row, whew

 

[Dr.Acula]

Haha, this French guy looks shell shocked.

Haha, Bronze! I take everything back, random French dude!

 

[Twenty7KVN]

Did he do lebrons move?

He sure did.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Bolt is so much faster than all these dudes. He'll be able to win the 200 in 2020 if he wants to.

 

[Line_HTX]

Not even close

See you in Tokyo Bolt.

No way he's going to Tokyo.

 

[Lkr]

So who makes it look easier? Ledecky in the 800m free or Bolt in the 200m sprint? Obviously Ledecky has more time to build a bigger lead but both are just so far in front of the competition it's insane

 

[the_sun_king]

Well, if Bolt keeps his word, De Grasse should be top pick to win gold in Tokyo.

 

[Mik317]

"you thought you had a chance?"

<smirk>

 

[Koren]

It's impressive to see Bold gold medal AND disappointed... ^_^

I mean, it's not a huge time, but it's raining...

It's a battle for bronze because Bolt and De Grasse are going 1 and 2

Happy for Lemaitre... He couldn't hope better, anyway.

Seeing the photography, all three should get bronze... Such a close arrival...

 

[RC]

Super proud of De Grasse. No shame in being second to the greatest runner of all time.

 

[zero_suit]

Bolt killed it.

De Grasse wins all the golds in 2020.

I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[GravityInsanity]

 

[Gorillaz]

As long as Degresse stays healthy these next few years, the guy is going to be the next big one

he's still young, tonight tho king stays the king

 

[gutter_trash]

Bolt bolted gold

i am proud of De Grasse, keep it up kid

 

[Gvitor]

Fucking legend

 

[Raiku]

Beautiful

 

[Elfforkusu]

As long as Degresse stays healthy these next few years, the guy is going to be the next big one

he's still young, tonight tho king stays the king

He's quick, but there's no comparison to Bolt...

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Damn.

He ran out of turbo at the end. Could've had the record

I think he was upset with himself at the end regarding that.

It amazes me that he's the fastest man on the planet and STILL is pissed when HE WINS.

 

[zero_suit]

So who makes it look easier? Ledecky in the 800m free or Bolt in the 200m sprint? Obviously Ledecky has more time to build a bigger lead but both are just so far in front of the competition it's insane

Ledecky

That performance was absurd.

 

[Chumly]

Damn.

He ran out of turbo at the end. Could've had the record

He wasn't even close.

Unbelievable race. Just destroyed everyone else

 

[Griss]

Jesus Christ, LeMaitre came from out of nowhere to win bronze!

Still don't know how he did it!

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Loved the Frenchman's reaction to realizing he got 3rd

 

[Brazil]

Bolt with the Brazilian flag <3

 

[gutter_trash]

Jesus Christ, LeMaitre came from out of nowhere to win bronze!

Still don't know how he did it!

3rd place was tight!

 

[Sean C]

De Grasse is the first Canadian to medal in the 200m since Percy Williams, who won gold at the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam.

And a white guy got a medal in the 200m! Now there's something that doesn't happen often.

 

[Buba Big Guns]

Bolt is unreal

Degrasse the future!

 

[StoopKid]

Bolt!

 

[valkillmore]

Very close race... for second place.

Second wasn't close bruh. Third place went to thousands of a second to determine.

 

[Line_HTX]

BMX huh

 

[Solo]

Cmon guys, Bolt isn't competing in 2020

 

[Kifimbo]

On the replay, Bolt went pretty hard the whole race, even grimacing in the last few meters.

 

[Griss]

Jesus, the Jamaican girl commentating is making it sound like Bolt failed because of his time. Come on, be excited...

 

[mclem]

I feel for Gemili, there, that was one hell of a tight run for bronze.

 

[SilentRacoon]

De Grasse will have to be content with all the gold shit he wears, he won't be coming anywhere to a medal as long as the KING is still in the game.

 

[LiK]

On the replay, Bolt went pretty hard the whole race, even grimacing in the last few meters.

yea, he was much more relaxed in the semis. he really wanted to get this one. went all out.

 

[sangreal]

On the replay, Bolt went pretty hard the whole race, even grimacing in the last few meters.

yeah, I'll be interesting to see their start times. Deadspin had a good article recently demonstrating that he has become gun shy since they changed the false start rules and got DQ'd. That would really impact his ability to match his old records

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

On the replay, Bolt went pretty hard the whole race, even grimacing in the last few meters.

Yeah had he gone full tilt he could've hurt himself at the end there

 

[D4Danger]

3rd and 4th both got 20.12. 5th was 20.13

 

[Dr.Acula]

Headwind, rain, just bad conditions for Bolt, sadly.

I think he was actually looking at the clock at the end and noticed he was off pace.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Cmon guys, Bolt isn't competing in 2020

Neither him nor Phelps. But they could both medal if they felt the drive to.

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

China just took the first set 27-25 against Netherlands in the semifinal in Volleyball! Very good game, next set goes to Netherlands please!

 

[Jean Valjean]

Fuck the wind and rain... he wanted the world record.

 

[Empty]

On the replay, Bolt went pretty hard the whole race, even grimacing in the last few meters.

yeah he did. he didn't deliberatly let up like he often does when he's won either. imo i think he reaaaaaaaallly wanted to end on a world record but he's not in the shape he was as a younger man + conditions held him back

 

[Line_HTX]

So who got Bronze?

 

[D4Danger]

So who got Bronze?

French guy.

 

[Thud]

Jeuj, we got bronze in beach volleyball

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

So who got Bronze?

French guy I believe
