So who got Bronze?

France .. grrr

Poor Gemili

 

[Tubie]

I'm glad I got to witness the Bolt domination of the past 3 Olympics.

I don't think we'll see anyone as good for decades, if ever.

 

[Milchmann]

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

Reaction time was not an issue.

 

[D4Danger]

diff between 3rd and 4th was 0.003

 

[Mimosa97]

Jesus Christ, how do you even hahahaha

Lemaitre is a surprise!

Yup people are losing it on french forums lmao

WHO SAID WHITE BOYS CAN'T SPRINT

 

[Razzer]

Poor Adam Gemili. Guy comes across so genuine and friendly, seeing him in this interview is gut-wrenching.

 

[GunBR]

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

Incredible set
Netherlands was winning 12x5
Then China was winning 24x20
Then Netherlands saved all set points, but China won at the end

 

[Gandalf]

Feel privileged to have watched Bolt in my lifetime. What a man.

Feel so bad for Gemili

 

[Dr.Acula]

Wind matters, there's a reason there's a max for tail wind, and a head wind will definitely knock someone's time down.

[GravityInsanity]

Here it is.

 

[Ricker]

So who got Bronze?

LeMaitre...fitting

 

[nny]

The race is only the first part of the Bolt show.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Reaction time was not an issue.

Real slow race (relatively speaking of course). What was the headwind?

 

[Mimosa97]

Has there even such a superstar like Bolt at the olympics ? And by superstar I'm not talking about the number of gold medals but popularity. Bolt is still running around the stadium and people are still cheering lmao

 

[Gorillaz]

No reason for bolt to come back in tokyo. Said the same about phelps. Neither of these guys need to come back at 35 even if they can. Nothing really left to prove.

Bolt has been a great face of track and field/sprint

 

[FDC1]

Real slow race (relatively speaking of course). What was the headwind?

-0.5

 

[Brazil]

3-0 their asses, China. That's the least you can do.

Yup people are losing it on french forums lmao

WHO SAID WHITE BOYS CAN'T SPRINT

Dude finished the first 100m in 7th. Insane final sprint.

 

[Line_HTX]

Legendary Bolt pose again.

WHOO!

 

[gutter_trash]

lol Donavan Baily's reaction on CBC

 

[Tubie]

There are few athletes as universally loved as Bolt.

 

[Ricker]

lol,lots of Canadians are saying Silver after Bolt is like Gold am I right...?

 

[luso]

diff between 3rd and 4th was 0.003

Decades(?) ago both would get bronze...

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Donovan Bailey going nuts on CBC! Ahahahaha.


De Grasse has a long way to go but he's going to be amazing to watch in 2020

 

[ViciousDS]

andrews is out

 

[Mimosa97]

3-0 their asses, China. That's the least you can do.



Dude finished the first 100m in 7th. Insane final sprint.

And the race was slow a fuck so he got really lucky

But we'll take it lol

 

[Line_HTX]

There it is, from his own words, tomorrow night will be his final event. He won't go to Tokyo.

 

[nny]

Olympics without Bolt will not be the same.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

That was awesome Bolt is the fastest man alive!

 

[DD]

Bolt is a monster, ffs.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Can we cryogenically freeze Bolt between games so he could compete forever?

 

[Zackat]

Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps at the same time. Living in good times.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Olympics without Bolt will not be the same.

and Phelps

 

[Mimosa97]

Tracks are gonna suffer so much from Bolt retiring

They won't be able to fill as many stadiums as before during regular meetings

 

[gutter_trash]

There are few athletes as universally loved as Bolt.

a man who can eat 100 McNuggets in Beijing 2008 then win Gold is the man of the people

 

[pestul]

No reason for bolt to come back in tokyo. Said the same about phelps. Neither of these guys need to come back at 35 even if they can. Nothing really left to prove.

Bolt would only be 33 though.. I think he should try.

 

[Dr.Acula]

There are few athletes as universally loved as Bolt.

If he ever tests positive I'm quitting the Olympics, seriously. Like, human athletic achievement will be rendered valueless to me.

 

[Madness]

We'll never see his like again. Gets drug tested so much and not so much as a hint of doping for Bolt with the kind of testing done now. His genetics, his charisma and determination. He can probably still win gold in Tokyo if he really wanted to and stayed healthy. But his last hamstring injury was big. Much greater risk for injury. No one can touch him. As much as Canadian media announcers cheering De Grasse, being almost 2 or 3 tenths behind might as well be a mile. If Bolt doesn't compete, and De Grasse keeps training and stays healthy, he will be able to do double gold in Tokyo.

American track and field in crazy decline. Such a non factor especially in short sprinting.

 

[SilentRacoon]

They are far above petty medals at this point, competing on a poor form would only tamper their near mythical status.

 

[LiK]

both Phelps and Bolt are done after this Olympics. let the next gen kids take over.

 

[the_sun_king]

I'm kinda glad Phelps and Bolt aren't planning to go to Tokyo. Go out on top and it's time for some new blood to take over.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

and Phelps

No one cares about Phelps outside the US and swim geeks.
Bolt is probably the most famous sportsman alive. The Olympics won't have that for long time.

 

[Sean C]

Four medals for Canada today -- gold, silver, and two bronze. We've now tied our result at the 2012 Olympics, but with four gold instead of one.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Is Jamaica considered favorites for the relay?

 

[Dr.Acula]

There it is, from his own words, tomorrow night will be his final event. He won't go to Tokyo.

He's running at the World's in London in 2017.

Team USA just not what it used to be.

 

[Line_HTX]

Alright, let's go, China indoor volleyball!

 

[Koren]

Yup people are losing it on french forums lmao

WHO SAID WHITE BOYS CAN'T SPRINT

Well, if I'm not mistaken, he's the first white spriter that broke the 10s mark on 100m.

Poor Adam Gemili. Guy comes across so genuine and friendly, seeing him in this interview is gut-wrenching.

Lemaitre went to see him because he was sad for him... He's a really nice guy, too.

 

[the_sun_king]

American track and field in crazy decline. Such a non factor especially in short sprinting.

Way to ignore every other event in athletics outside of the sprints.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Such a cool shot
