So pretty much exactly like the race track Thanks

My God. What if his coach is right and the 400 would be his best event?

He needs to work on the turn. To break 19 would be one of those records that would never be broken.

sickest track man the world has ever seen! it's hard to imagine, Bolt is .70 better than the rest of that field!
he has a little bit left, don't know he can break 19. i do think he can get he can get under 19.1 though. his problem now, NO one is close enough to push him. IMO, the 200m is his best race.

Default 4X100 relays
Both US teams are OUT, in the semis. the men made the 3rd pass before the start of the zone. the women clipped heels making the 2nd pass.
Bolt will run anchor for team Jamaica.

USA T&F Team runs in Olympic Stadium in Berlin for the first time since 1936. Jesse Owens 4 gold medal performance and world record long jump.

I thought Bolt runs third and Powell runs the anchor. That's what they did before when they set the world record.

they had Bolt listed as anchor but he ran third leg.

4x400 relays, women won by almost 4 seconds, men won by almost 3 seconds. the guys have only lost this race twice in history.
USA won the medal count.
