Didn't the guy who finished 2nd in the race run the 3rd fastest time ever?

That will probably hurt the Beyer figure Bolt gets.

Yeah, the third fastest legal time and yet he wasn't even close. I think Bolt can get it even lower. It's almost unimaginable to fathom a sub-9.5 but he makes you think it's possible. I still saw room for improvement from him yesterday.

Does it ever reach a point where it's humanly impossible to go any lower?

Good question, I think hes already gone there!

I wonder if he could stretch out his speed and go 2 turns?

He needs blinkers, kept looking to the right.

Two turns yes...I'm interested to see what happens when he gives the 400m a serious try. Got to believe he could go way low 42. (current WR is 43.18)...as next year is a non-championship year (no Olympics or World Championship) that might be a good time to try it.

The real question is with that sort of speed out of the blocks could he crack 19 seconds in the 200? I think it is reasonable that he could run the first hundred in 9.85 even on the turn. He went about 9.2 for the second hundred last Olympics so the possibility is there with a great start if he really worked on his turns.

TG was 3 steps behind. sadly i don't think he can go any faster and he was 2-3 steps ahead of 3rd.

i watched the semi's and the finals. i too think he can get to 9.5 or just under. he actually ran to the line yesterday. he knew TG was closer this race.

Fats claims he was drafting.
