Olympic Track and Field qualifying (SPOILER)

Tyson Gay just ran a 9.68 in the finals of the men's 100m. Wind-aided so it wasn't a world record but damn, that was fast.  |

Wind-aided? Did he eat some Van Camp's Pork and Beans before the race?

That is gay. It doesn't count because there was wind? These clowns play golf or kick field goals? HTFU. |

More like a 3.54, assuming constant velocity.

LOL, not that argument again. michael johnson ran the last 100m of his WR 200 in 9.2 (10.12 1st 100, 19.32 total) , interestingly this guy has the next best 200m time since johnson's WR, 19.67 total. seems like johnson is a slow accelerator of the initial gun but hits a maximum peak speed that is much higher than this guy can reach. (not completely scientific or rigorous, but something on the order of 10%), oh, and at that peak speed, johnson would cover 40 yards in about 3.37s. lol. |
