His father is Japanese, mother is... Jamaican!

I thought you didn't get japanese citizenship if only your mother is japanese ?

Bolt didn't even look back when he seized that baton. Just ran looking forward, extended his arm back, and clasped his hand. Bam.

edit: Bolt gave it all.

 

[BroBot]

Usonic Bolt does it again

 

[Tubie]

This Jamaican team just so fun to watch. Pleasure to have seen them over these last three Olympics.

Yea we are lucky/privileged to have witnessed these last 3 Olympics.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Yuuussss Japan be like

lol

 

[Broank]

Dammit! My stream went out right during the race...

 

[ActStriker]

He did lean. Nowhere near close enough. He was catching up but he started off too far back. He needs a better team in 2020.

It sure didn't look like it. From the last replay I saw he was upright

 

[Gorillaz]

Japan came out of fucking nowhere in thst race like holy shit

 

[jett]

IMMORTALITY!

 

[SkylineRKR]

 

[GSG Flash]

Lane infringement by the Japanese?

 

[Kifimbo]

CBC showing a replay leading them to believe Japan will be DQ. Stepped on the line.

 

[Madness]

Japan will be DQ'ed due to lane violations...

 

[Buba Big Guns]

Jesus Christ, De Grasse almost caught the US and Japan.

Looks like Japan is losing the silver...stupid rule

 

[Ricker]

Japan DQ ?????

 

[Dr.Acula]

4 years ago Canada lost out on a medal b/c of a lane infringement, looks like Japan is going to lose this one to bump up Canada to bronze.

 

[Blader]

That gap Bolt opened up on everyone else was unreal. The ninth time I've seen him do this and it blows me away every time.

 

[wachie]

Japan crossed the land slightly, Bronze for Canada?

 

[friskykillface]

So USA gets silver now? Don't give gatLin a semi W

 

[gutter_trash]

Japan stepped on the line....

2012 karma for Canada?

 

[Confusion Illusion]

Man, Bolt could clear the Atlantic with that stride.

 

[John Dunbar]

the american anchor did not understand how diving works.

 

[Rainy]

.

 

[elty]

So IAAF will give in to USA again@

 

[Nokagi]

Phelps and Bolt have made the Olympics so exciting. Going to miss them both. Amazing athletes.

 

[Chumly]

.

Ooooof that's a pretty clear violation. That sucks

 

[Ether_Snake]

Bolt looked to his, saw the Japanese, then accelerated like mad.

 

[RS4-]

I wonder if they'll do a lane violation despite being down a straight and right at the end. Both Japan and maybe the US stepped on it lol.

 

[Tubie]

So USA gets silver now? Don't give gatLin a semi W

[GunBR]

So Japan will lose the medal and Gatlin will get a second silver?
FFS

 

[Griss]

Phelps and Bolt have made the Olympics so exciting. Going to miss them both. Amazing athletes.

To have two freaks of nature dominate like that at the same time is going to be impossible to replace... The next olympics will have a severe hype deficit by comparison.

 

[Tallshortman]

Japan crossed the land slightly, Bronze for Canada?

Yep if they determine he crossed.

 

[mozfan12]

I'm glad that I lived in the era of Phelps, Messi, Bolt and Cristiano. As a devout follower of sport, what an era to live in.

 

[Panda In Space]

USA also stepped on the line

 

[Mimosa97]

Not like this Japan ...

Not like this

That's so sad

 

[Megasoum]

Wait... US just got disqualified but not Japan!?

 

[Gorillaz]

I would be so heated if I aas team Japan right now wow

 

[Kifimbo]

USA DQ ?

 

[beasty]

They said the Japanese team did extensive training for this race. They did a hell of a job but bolt is just a cheat code.

 

[Rainy]

I just posted the picture to show how good Bolt was...i didnt even know there was a line violation?

 

[Dr.Acula]

USA also stepped on the line

Ooooooooohhh... Canada Silver?

 

[jesu]

wOOP

WELLDONE JAPAN THOGH!!

 

[SkylineRKR]

USA is out.

 

[BigJonsson]

I just posted the picture to show how good Bolt was...i didnt even know there was a line violation?

Did DeGrasse step on the line too?

I think it's only a DQ if you do it on the bend

 

[mozfan12]

Wait what, this DQs have been so weird. Didn't Japan also step on the line?

 

[Kid Ying]

I thought you didn't get japanese citizenship if only your mother is japanese ?

This is a fairly new rule. Back then it wasn't like that. Also, if the kid lives a while in Japan he can get the japanese citizenship.

Bolt becomes third athlete to win 9 golds on track and field (Nurmi, Lewis, Bolt) and second on track alone (Nurmi and Bolt).

A lot of people need to remember Carl Lewis' greatest achievements came in a boycotted Olympics as well, where heavy favorites East Germany, Soviet Union and many other eastern European nations didn't even compete. Not to take away from what an amazing athlete he is, but I've never liked how the the 1980 Moscow games are disregarded for a lot of things, but 1984 is talked about like it was an ordinary games.

Usain Bolt is in a league of his own. 3 straight olympics, 3 straight golds in the short sprints including several world records.

 

[Tubie]

LOL

GatLin indeed.

I'm happy with this outcome, so perfect.

 

[giga]

Don't tell me Gay stepped on the line.

 

[Zackat]

USA is out.

Tyson Gay nooooooo

please don't let it be him.
